Please continue to remember all of these in your prayers. Erie Mae Russell was a charter member of the Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry. She was present at the first meeting on April 15, 2009, and continued attending faithfully as long as her health permitted. As time passed, quilt #299 was dedicated for her on October 10, 2012, and she kept it with her until she passed away on September 20, It was then placed on her casket as a symbol of the love and warmth she showed to everyone she knew. We are most grateful to the Russell family for designating Prayers & Squares as the recipient of memorial funds given in memory of Erie Mae. Her spirit of kindness lives on. Church Library According to the Church Librarians Network, the Millennial Generation (born between ) that has grown up in the age of technology has a fondness for a very old-fashioned habit - reading. According to a new Pew Research Center report, those under 30 were more likely to have read a book in the last year than those over the age of 30. And they're more likely to use the library as well! New reads in our library include Karen Kingsbury's latest release, Angels Walking, the story of a washed up baseball player and the miracle that might save him. Also new is A Season To Remember, the journey of Carson Tinker, the starting long snapper of The University of Alabama's Crimson Tide, and his incredible story of perseverance and triumph following the April 27, 2011, EF4 tornado that tore through Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
