God is Good -- All the Time and Everywhere !!

So, it's so wonderful to have an inventory of clothing for Haiti! 

But it’s also so wonderful to be able to meet a need that arises!

One BCC couple travel to Mexico often and have become connected to a small Christian Church there.  He shared of a family where there is a need for some clothing.

Where would we find some – in our inventory, or course!  Yes, we’re creating for Haiti where the need is very great, but this need is very real today – Resurrection Sunday!

So another BCC couple will take some dresses and shorts this week when they travel to Mexico – need met and teamwork credited!

God is Good -- all the time and everywhere!!!

We Have Amazing Days at SILK :) !!

We had about 13 ladies come on Saturday, April 9 --

Here's some of the fun we had:

Etta is really concentrating on the cutting !

First Timer Julie cut out fleece which will be tied

for lap robes by our Women's Retreat attenders

this coming weekend!

Another First Timer Ricki joined our lovely

Roberta in cutting baby quilts!

Nell and Margaret worked alongside

each other -- we heard them visiting away!

And we always need a break -- have

no idea what Etta was up to there with Nadine :) !

And at the end of the day, we had 77 dresses, several

baby quilts and about 8 pairs of boys shorts.

Our inventory is blossoming!

BCC Outreach Weekend

A day to share various local and international outreach ministries,

contributing or letting others you may know of 

this wonderful opportunity!
