Not Exactly Next Door but Very Near at Heart

The team of lovely quilters who gather every week to serve together at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Colon, Michigan, gathered around to have a dedicatory prayer for the large load of quilts they dedicated to Orphan Grain Train--Michigan.  The congregation is more than 200 miles away from the Orphan Grain Train Center in Sebewaing, but God worked it out so the quilts could be delivered.  These great caring women represent all those who do so much for the mission of Orphan Grain Train.  Thank you!

Pastor Reed, Branch Manager of Orphan Grain Train--Michigan is with Jeanne Lee and a very imaginative quilt in the making specially to depict Orphan Grain Train.  It is such a clever and colorful idea.  Jeanne is among those so expressive of support and active in promoting God's efforts through Orphan Grain Train.

Good News Ministries, Whittemore

Occasionally (not often), but occasionally the quantity of raw goods (donated clothing, medical equipment, and other received items) dips such that our volunteers nearly exhaust the items in our receiving room at Orphan Grain Train--Michigan.  But then, almost miraculously, a completely unexpected delivery is made.  That happened August 19 when late in the morning of our service day Deacon Mike Sadler and his wife Angie arrived with a trailer absolutely loaded with at least 150 bags of donated clothing from Good News Ministries in Whittemore.  Helping unload (center) is Leila Rish, one of our dedicated volunteers.  We so thank the good and generous givers from Whittemore.  You arrived just in time and we thank God for your encouragement.

 

Abundance and Generosity from Immanuel, Wheeler

On the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, the loving people of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Wheeler delivered 28 Layette Kits, 12 Hygiene Kits, blankets, quilts, and clothing to Orphan Grain Train--Michigan.  Their expression of generosity?  "We're going to do this again!"
