Maple Grove church plans 'Blessing of the Backpacks'

See the article online here.
As most students -- and certainly most parents -- know by now, the first day of school is right around the corner. Back-to-school advertisements are everywhere. Signs are posted reminding people of supply lists and ice cream socials. In step with those things, Maple Grove United Methodist Church will host a "Blessing of the Backpacks" this Sunday, Aug. 23. Children of the congregation and the neighborhood are welcome to have their backpacks blessed at either the 8:30 a.m. or 10 a.m. services at the church, on the southwest corner of Henderson Road and North High Street. Church members have been collecting donations of back-to-school supplies, to give to low-income families. Those also will be blessed by the Rev. Bill Croy. For more information, visit the Web site maplegroveumc.org.

Adult Mission Trip - Post Trip Pictures and Comments
The Dakota people are quite interesting. Very friendly and welcoming to us, although they said there is still a mistrust of the white race.
With regard to their spirituality, three separate speakers, in describing their prayers said they never pray for Blessings for themselves. Prayers are for others!

The final total of projects completed by the Sewers:
27 Pillows, 19 pairs of curtains, 7 lap robes, 7 single valances, 3 pair of valances, and 7 receiving blankets. This group really added something special to this mission trip. Oh, they also auctioned off several items and the mission group donated another $202 to The Tree of Life Ministry as a result of the further generosity of this group of missioners!

A fun time was had by all. Martha and Bill enjoying a moment following a wonderful meal at the Cattleman's restaurant.
