The beautiful Robert Harris Memorial Quilt that members of Pleasant Grove worked on with Mary Ellen was entered into the Asheville Cotton Company quilt contest and won first place!
The voting on the quilt raised $500 for MANNA Food bank. Because of this quilt, many hungry people will be fed! We are excited to see this quilt keep going in competition….perhaps to the state fair?
Congratulations to Mary Ellen! Way to go!!!
We will meet at Pleasant Grove Union Church at 11:00 am on Sunday, June 19, 2011 for worship, and then move out to Lunsford Lake around 11:30 for our baptismal celebration. The lake is approximately three miles further out Reem’s Creek.
Bring a lawn chair and a light picnic lunch. We’ll sit under the awning, sing some hymns, and celebrate new life in the church. Then we’ll eat a sandwich and drink some lemonade together.
