Creativity Conference III - Great Success!

This past weekend (Mary 18 - 20) was the third Western District Moravian Church Creativity Conference.  Participants had an opportunity to attend a variety of workshops including Cooking With Joy, Learning to Play the Guitar, Woodworking, Bead Jewelry, Knit for Africa, and several others.  A highlight of the weekend was the painting of a wooden quilt that will be attached to the barn after it's reparations next spring (new roof, siding repair, exterior paint).  It is a beautiful creation (8' X 8') and thanks goes to everyone who helped "lend a hand" to making it happen.  Kris Schefft is especially thanked for her leadership.

Mt. Morris Thanks Al Mothers

Mt. Morris wants to thank all mothers for their love and dedication to family.  Motherhood is often a thankless role and we all too often take for granted mothers' hard work and love of family.  May God Bless all mothers and families this weekend.  Happy Mother's Day!

Many Thanks to Woodcutting Volunteers!

May 4 and 5 have been very successful days of woodcutting with our volunteers - Harry, Bob, Joe, Barb, Al, Doris, Harv, Jason, Glen, and Bruce!  Thanks all for helping us clear in front of the cabins and the campground.  Mt. Morris LOVES volunteers!

Morris is thankful to be a part of the Moravian Church and thanks everyone for their support of the Mt. Morris ministry.
