ELIZABETH HOUSE FOOD DRIVE MAY 14 AND 21, 2016 “The mission of Elizabeth House is to provide shelter and familyfocused support to homeless pregnant women and their children. This is done through a comprehensive program that addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual and economic needs in a nurturing atmosphere during the pregnancy and beyond. They provide ongoing support to their alumni including housing as well. It takes a lot to move forward when one's life has been overshadowed by family dysfunction or lack of support, abuse, violence, and/or destructive choices.” If you would like to contribute, please bring non-perishable items to the table in the cafeteria/fellowship hall. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Peabody.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FROM THE PASTOR
WITH THOUGHTS ON MOTHER’S DAY “MY MOTHER WAS THE MAKING OF ME” “I did not have my mother long, but she cast over me an influence A which has lasted all my life. The good effects of her early training I can never lose. If it had not been for her appreciation and her faith in me at a critical time in my experience, I should never likely have become an inventor. I was always a careless boy, and with a mother of different mental caliber, I should have turned out badly. But her firmness, her sweetness, her goodness were potent powers to keep me in the right path. My mother was the making of me .” —Thomas Edison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “A child without a mother is like a door without a handle.” —Jewish Proverb Proverbs 31:26-28: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.”
