The Third MONDAY of each month, starting February 16 at 1:30 PM, in the church library.
Please note the new time! We have decided to try a daytime meeting to make it easier for members who do not like to drive at night to come join us.
If you are not familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry, we knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to anyone, man or woman, who is going through difficult times or blessed with a happy occasion. Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need.
We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed.
If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16.
We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail:

Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need.
We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed.

| Prayer Shawl Ministry | | Monday, Dec. 21, 2009 starting at 1:30p. | | The Prayer Shawl meetings will be starting up again after taking a two-month break. The new meeting time will be: The Third MONDAY of each month, starting February 16 at 1:30 PM, in the church library. Please note the new time! We have decided to try a daytime meeting to make it easier for members who do not like to drive at night to come join us. If you are not familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry, we knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to anyone, man or woman, who is going through difficult times or blessed with a happy occasion. Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need. We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed. If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16. We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail: Shirley Smith (538-6940) Helen Bouchelle (584-7230) Lora Womack (449-4049) |

| Women of the ELCA | | Saturday, May 1, 2010 starting at 9:00a. | | NORTHERN CONFERENCE SPRING GATHERING
SATURDAY MAY 1, 2010
MACEDONIA LUTHERAN CHURCH
http://www.ncwelca.org/Special_Events.htm#conf
Registration and refreshments begin at 9:00am, the meeting begins at 9:30am.
Our theme for the Gathering is "Sister, Take My Hand". The program is entitled "Sisterhood". Our Gathering offering will go to "Companion Synod Costa Rican Task Force". This will help support Costa Rican young women going to seminary. Our pennies campaign offering for 2010 will go towards Lutheran Family Services. The pennies campaign began Feb.1, 2010 and will end Jan. 31, 2011. Separate checks should be written for each offering, and should be made out to NCSWO.
North Carolina Women of the ELCA (www.ncwelca.org) are combining forces to immediately provide Lutheran World Relief with more health kits for use in Haiti. We will also take up a special love offering at our Spring Gathering to help defray the cost of shipping. http://www.lwr.org.
We will be electing a new Director of Communications and Treasurer's Asst. and installing these officers at the gathering. Lunch will be served at approximately 12:00 by our sisters at Macedonia. The cost of lunch is $6. A sign up sheet is posted on the Women of the ELCA board outside of the church office.
As you have probably noticed, the gathering is the same day as our Youth Yard Sale & BBQ Chicken fund raiser. If you would like to attend the gathering, but buy chicken from the youth, please indicate on the sign up sheet that you will not be buying lunch from Macedonia. If you are eating at Macedonia, write your check for $6 to Friedens WELCA. Checks can be placed in Joy Isley's mailbox in the library.
The deadline for registering is Sunday April 11.
All women are welcome to attend this Gathering, whether or not you regularly attend one of our 2 circles. Bring a friend.

“USA Weekend’s Make a Difference Day,” Saturday,

together to Loaves & Fishes
# Have breakfast and a short devotion at Loaves & Fishes
# Make sandwiches and assemble bag lunches
# Deliver the bag lunches to determined destination
# 1½ hours of your time

The list of items that we will need to bring to make the bag lunches is on the Youth Board. The
Youth Ministry will provide bread, baggies, brown lunch bags, granola bars, dried fruit snacks,
bag chips, low sugar fruit juice drinks, spreaders and scoopers to make the sandwiches, and
brochures about our church.
FROM FRIEDENS: We need from you sandwich fillers to make 100 sandwiches such as
pimento cheese, chicken salad, and/or ham & cheese. There are some awesome cooks in the
Friedens church family, and homemade items will be appreciated by those who are less
fortunate than we. If you would like to make or purchase sandwich fillers, please let Angela
know. The love of God be with you as you prepare food for the hungry.
