Dear Family, Friends and Website Visitors,

Lots of positives going on this month! First of all, My Ministry was one of a few that was selected by my previous place of employment, that being, Peoria Unified School District. The school I used to work at, [Desert Valley] would hold an annual fund drive for me, thanks to NJHS and Student Council. Well, this year it looks like that fund drive has expanded to 22 schools. I am eternally grateful and totally overwhelmed.

Also, my church just had their Rummage Sale.
I donated quite a few items and lo and behold, it all came back to me with a donation of over 60 skeins of yarn. Yes, the Lord does move in miraculous ways, especially being that I was down to using scraps.

Well it definitely looks like I will have enough donations coming in to provide for over 1,000 people. I don't know if I will reach that goal by this Thanksgiving [because of the time element,] but, it’s a done deal for next year. I should easily be able to shoot for 500-600 [as long as my hands hold out]. Gotta do as much as I can, the economy has put more people in need. I plan on doing the best I can though.

Anyway, I will have much more to report in my next newsletter. Thanks to all for your support and prayers.

With Blessings,

Lauren
