From the Parish Mailbox

Dear Rev. Elkins-Williams,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to acknowledge the generous donation of $1010 from the Mother's Day offering of the Chapel of the Cross.

It is gratifying to have churches such as yours remember our mission of care for older adults and especially for those whose resources are diminished

Thank you for caring in such a meaningful way.

Sincerely,

The rector describes the following as one of the most unusual requests he's received.  It illustrates the many effects of the ABC Sale.  The photograph referred to is posted on the bulletin board near the student center.

Dear Church Members,

When I think of Spring, I think of the wonderful "Attic and Cupboard" sale my family has enjoyed for many years at your beautiful chapel!!  My three sons would stand in line as patiently as young children (with their pockets jingling with coins earned for chores over and above their usual responsibilities) possibly could!  The anticipation of adding games and books to their collections was evident on their faces!!

I need to ask a huge favor of your members-enclosed is a photograph of the darling little wooden chairs I bought at the sale a year or two ago.  After mending the missing spokes, sanding and painting them, they are now a prized possession I use when my grandchildren come to visit.  We will be adding two grandchildren this year and here is where I need help-would you please post my note and picture and run my request to purchase two (or three??) more of these chairs from anyone whose children have outgrown this size?  Please let me thank you in advance for any assistance given to my quest!!

Thank you,
