Joseph's Coat of Many Colors

Attached you will see a picture of the altar kneeler that was needlepointed by one of the women in our church. Peter and I sponsored the kneeler; and recently, the church dedicated it in honor of my parents.

Both of my parents were devout Methodists, and I grew up in that church. My mother was Director of Christian Education, organizing and training the Christian Education curriculum and activities in the church. My father used his Adult Education background to present "Can-Do!" rallies, encouraging churches in the area to organize and develop programs that met the spiritual growth needs of each church's members.

I have continuously appreciate the foundation my parents provided for me. It was extremely special to us to be able to honor them by contributing the materials for this exquisite kneeler to be made for our church. It feels so good to be giving back, when so much has been given to us!
