8 PAGE 8 Simulcast was a success.. On April 8, when one of our favorite Bible teachers was speaking in Tulsa, 14 women joined in by simulcast from our parish hall. Since there were 3 teaching sessions throughout the day, as well as music praise time, worship, prayer and a ministry opportunity, we were there several hours. Making our own "retreat," we had morning coffee time and a catered lunch. Those attending think we should do this again, so we will be watching for similar events which we can attend without the travel! Additionally, we KNOW we want to have a movie day/evening to see "War Room," in which Priscilla, Beth Moore and others have parts. Anne Winzenread

9 Page 9 Have you heard about the "pillowcases?" Every second Wednesday for the last couple years, a group of industrious, boisterous, generous ladies meet in OUR St. Mary's Church and turn out insane numbers of brightly colored hand made pillowcases that are given to EVERY single child (350 per month!) who gets admitted to Oklahoma Children's Hospital. This has been going on right under our roof! Daughters of the King (DOK) St. Mary's Emmanuel Chapter will host Ruth Treat, the coordinator for Ryan's Case for Smiles Monday May 8 at 6:30pm Everyone is invited to join us as we learn more about this organization, its history, and St. Mary's involvement, and see what "pillowcases" is all about. Bring a friend!
