I hope you are getting your quilts finished and bound for our quilt show!  The Ortonville United Methodist Women are excited to host our fourteenth biannual quilt show, May 4th and 5th!  Please bring your quilt to the store the week of the show, or to the church, 
(93 Church Street) on Wednesday, May 2, beginning at 9am. 
All are welcome to the show, ($5 donation).  Please don't forget the vendors in the lower level of the church and at Ortonville's Old Town Hall.  A delicious luncheon is available both days, made by our women.  It's a great weekend to be in Ortonville.,  And, the United Methodist men will be having their garage sale at 105 Church Street, that weekend too!

A women's circle at my church has decided to make lap quilts for the boys that live at the Methodist Children's Home in Redford.  I know they would appreciate any donations of tops, (they are experienced in tying quilts).  By the way, they meet on Tuesday mornings, at 9:30, if you're needing a place to plant!  Thank you for your consideration.

God's blessings to each of you and your families this Easter and throughout the coming year.  My appreciation to you, Brenda
