Celebrating the completion of 500 shawls by Babs Donahue

Babs Donahue completed her 500th shawl on New Year's Day. Our January meeting on the 14th was a special occasion...we welcomed three new knitters to our ministry..Beverly, Donna and Lorraine. Before our opening prayer, Marti Page talked about Bab's extraordinary dedication and accomplishment. At the end of our meeting we prayed over the shawls and invited our knitters to stay for a light lunch..we adjourned to the kitchen in the Pastoral Center where a wonderful feast was waiting. Also waiting, behind closed doors were members of Bab's family, our prayer shawl wrappers, and many friends. As you can see by the pictures on this blog, Babs was overcome with surprise and emotion. There wasn't a dry eye in the place! Congratulations Babs and love and blessings from all of us!  Now on to #600!
