Overwhelming Richness -- on the same day no less --

    OnlJuly 28, a wonderful group of members from Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church, Dryden, none of whom had previously visited Orphan Grain Train--Michigan, arrived with an extraordinary supply of quilts.  Shown here is only a sample from the many yet unopened behind Diana and Jim Coomer, Linda Ewald, Gayle and Doug Desmet, Kathy Clauw, and Charlotte Matthews.

     We thoroughly enjoyed the hour they spent with us sharing the story of Orphan Grain Train's mercy work.  

Holy Redeemer, Dryden had previously displayed  multiple ribbons of color July 5 when bringing beautiful quilts into God's house to be blessed as gifts to those in need.  These are the quilts now delivered to us at Orphan Grain Train.  Holy Redeemer's Pastor Evan Veen shared this photo of the result of the loving efforts of their wonderful quilters.  We thank them sincerely.

      That very same morning, July 28, Rosemary Hoff and Karen Berner arrived with 81 absolutely beautiful quilts sewn by those at Trinity Lutheran Church (Monitor), Bay City.  Karen and Rosemary then stayed on through the morning to share their time and energies along with our regular volunteers.
     Receiving all these friends with their gifts made the day even more lively and cheerful than usual.  We are also thankful all these folks could be with us for our daily morning devotional time too.
