Making bags of encouragement

MOUNT FOREST, Ont. – I am excited about the Hanover Zone Spring Rally I attended May 4 at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

        Our theme was “Called to Serve.” Ingathering items went to Ramoth House, a home for new mothers and their babies. In addition, we were given a cotton bag to decorate with encouraging words or a cheery picture. These lovely bags were taken home, a small gift and an appropriate encouraging note tucked inside and then will be given to someone who needs a lift and a smile added to their day.

        A potluck lunch was served followed by a prayer service led by our pastoral counsellor, Rev. J. Rinas.
