MILL HALL — Bald Eagle United Presbyterian Church will hold their monthly Prayer Shawl Ministry meeting on June 4 beginning at noon. The public is invited to come to the church to see all of the beautifully handcrafted items that the PSM needleworkers have produced over the last month. More needleworkers, those who crochet or knit, are invited to join the PSM group.

Lunch is provided. Donations of yarn and money are needed and accepted at the church for the needleworkers to continue their talent of creating beautiful pieces that are then donated to those in need.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry has a quilt that is being offered to the highest sealed bidder at the June meeting.

The quilt is being offered by sealed bid to the highest bidder. The Prayer Shawl Ministry meeting begins at noon and the public is invited to come to see the quilt and to place a sealed bid before the bids are open and the quilt is officially sold.

The quilt was made by Joyce Busch, of Newmanstown, and mailed to the church with the intention that the Prayer Shawl Ministry could sell it to get funds for buying more yarn for the needleworkers to use.

The quilt is also going to be on display at The Express for several days (May 12-May 22) for folks to stop in and see it there. If you’re interested in placing a sealed bid, envelopes will be provided at The Express. Or, you can call Pastor Susan at 570-726-4112 to have her place your bid in a sealed envelope that will then be opened on June 4. The winner will be contacted immediately and arrangements for picking up the quilt can be scheduled.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry relies on donations of yarn and money to sustain their needleworkers with yarn to continue to create their many items that are then donated to more than 25 different organizations. The Prayer Shawl Ministry asks for your continued support of their mission.
