RED
AND
BLUE
BASKETS
We have a red and blue basket in the fellowship hall. The
blue one is for food for the food bank. Lets keep filling it as there
are still many people needing help. The red one is for our service
people. Let’s not forget this one just because Christmas is over. We
did a wonderful job filling the socks for them at Christmas but the Red
Shirts send boxes all year. Let’s remember to put a little something in
the basket to take to them to add to their boxes. All they send is
donated. They have to use their money they raise for postage, which is
a very big item with them. Let’s keep up the good work and let our
people know they are thought of.
PRESBYTERIAN DISASTER RELIEF
One Great Hour of Sharing Offerings include gifts to the Presbyterian
Disaster Assistance fund. Spring storms have created numerous needs for
relief assistance and our gifts are already being rushed to many of the
affected areas. For updates on the latest way our gifts are being used,
you may look at the attached link or go to our denomination website:
www.pcusa.org
and search for disaster assistance. For a more direct path use this

AN OLD IRISH BLESSING
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your
back.
May the sun shine warm upon your
face,
The rains fall soft upon your
fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of
his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's
children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your
back.
May the warm rays of sun fall upon
your home
And may the hand of a friend
always be near.
May green be the grass you walk
on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround
you,
May true be the hearts that love
you.
