Kathy Baughman, our former Pastoral Care Coordinator, is being ordained in Topeka, Kansas in the Unitarian Univeralist Association on Saturday, April 19. (Pastor Sandy will be preaching the ordination) To honor Kathy and her dedicated service to our congregation and her work in the wider church we would like to make a quilt for her and present it to her on her ordination.

The quilt we are imagining would include hand written squares from any members/friends of UCC Northfield who would like to join in honoring Kathy’s great work. Sandy has offered to vounteer her time to put the quilt together and get the sqaures ready for those who wish to deocrate them. (Don’t be intimidated if you are not an artist) You can simply write a message on a square. Squares will be available after worship on Sunday, March 2nd and Sunday, March 9th. You can write on them at church and leave them with us.

We have a small book that you can sign along with any message you have for Kathy. It will be in the church office and also in the fellowship hall after worship each Sunday. If you’d like to make a contribution to cover the cost of the quilt you can do so by leaving a check in the church office in the envelopes marked “Quilt for Kathy”. Please know that you do not need to make a contribution to decorate a square and you don’t need to decorate a square to make a contribution.

Mary Wood has a stole from her items from Bethlehem that we would also include in our gift to Kathy. The cost of this stole is $49 and we would be happy to take any donations people would like to give.
