THE TIE THAT BINDS

FOR SEVERAL YEARS OUR CHURCHES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE TAKEN ON THE PROJECT OF MAKING SCARVES FOR “THE TIE THAT BINDS”, A PROJECT LED BY KIM DOMINICK.  EACH YEAR THESE SCARVES ARE GIVEN TO A HOMELESS SHELTER IN BATON ROUGE. 

LET’S ALL GET BUSY AND HELP WITH HIS PROJECT AGAIN THIS YEAR.  WE TRY AND HAVE THEM READY BY THANKSGIVING EACH YEAR SO KIM CAN TAKE THEM HOME WITH HER.

 

 

FUNNY….DENNIS THE MENACE SAW HIS DOG RUFF LYING SOUND ASLEEP IN THE YARD. HE TURNED TO HIS MOTHER AND ASKED, "IS THIS WHAT DAD DOES WHEN HE SAYS HE 'WORKS LIKE A DOG?'"

 

 

IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND PEACE, REST AND JOY IN THE LOVING CARE OF OUR LORD THIS WEEK….WE ALL NEED TO STOP AND ENJOY HIS WONDERFUL GIFTS TO US!!!

 

GOD BESS YOU!!!

 

SEE YOU SUNDAY!!!!
