Mount Olive Quilters |
| |
Our Quilters have worked very hard this past year making many, many quilts for Lutheran World Relief, Interagency, local nursing homes, private assisted living homes, LHC School District (magic carpets), etc. These ladies put their love into each quilt that is made no matter where it is destined to end up. Each quilt is more beautiful than the next. Once a year the Mount Olive Quilters have a huge quilt sale. From the proceeds of this event the Salvation Army and the Food Bank each received a check for $1,000 with matching funds from Thrivent Financial.

| We hope you will feel the spirit and share what God has put in your heart. Please write a devotion that will help us reflect and prepare for the season of Lent. The Lenten devotional booklet is such a blessing to us, at Mount Olive, especially since it is written from the hearts of our family/friends.
Our theme this year is “Facing the Future with Faith” (John 14:1) As before, please take some time to reflect on, and share your thoughts about an experience, or about your favorite bible verse. These will be used as a daily devotion for us to read during the 40 days of Lent. Your entries can be sent to the church office, (email is preferred), to pat@mountolivelonline.net or, to Marquita@impruvit.com . If hand written, you can take it to the church office.
The deadline for all entries for this booklet is 12:00 noon on February 13.

Operation Gratitude |
| |
Thank you for your continuous donations of items to send to Operation Gratitude and for the personal boxes that are sent to the military. Personal boxes are being prepared to be sent soon. Many notes of appreciation and gratitude are needed for these boxes. Please do sit down for a few minutes often and write these notes. Place them in the written messages box in the narthex.
Shelly Hales and Marion Dietz have received answers to one of the notes that they each wrote. They are in contact with these service persons either by snail mail or e-mail. Both the service persons have expressed their appreciation for hearing from someone even though they have never met Shelly and Marion so your notes do have an impact whether you hear back or not. These were not the only notes that the ladies have written. Marion sent a picture of her Christmas tree via e-mail and the response was “ I miss Christmas trees!” What we take for granted means a whole lot to someone deployed! So do write and include a message that might just make that person feel remembered and appreciated.
Take note of the message Tiffany Cunha sent on the bulletin board in the narthex. Please remember to update addresses and add new ones. Place in the narthex box #73.
Write a message ------ Write a card!

Knox Box… |
| |
At the January New Beginnings meeting we were treated to a very informative talk from one of Lake Havasu City’s Firemen on a program sponsored by WACOG.
It is a metal box the fire department attaches near your front door that houses a key to your front door. The fire department is the only one with access to this box. It is designed so if you have a problem at your home they can get in without breaking down your door or breaking a window. There is no charge for this service or the box.
Please call WACOG at 1.800.782.1886 to receive your Knox Box. You will be asked a few questions to see if there are any other services your are eligible. A very helpful service. |
