Dancing Needles w ill resume our meetings on Saturday, September 20, 2008. Please think about joining us this fall. We sew, knit, crochet and quilt items for the preemies at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Howard County General Hospital. We also make blankets for small aban-doned animals at the Howard County Animal Shelter and have started making prayer shawls for those in need. We have samples, patterns, lots of yarn and cloth if you are interested in mak-ing any of these projects. If you are not able to make the Saturday monthly meetings, you can still be a part of this group and make the items at home. Call Liz Cole at 301-890-4424 if you have any questions. COMING SOON TO LIBERTY GROVE What is “Safe Sanctuaries”? “Safe Sanctuaries” implements policies and procedures for creating a safe environ-ment for children, youth and the adults who work with them. Safe Sanctuaries is an overt expression of a congregation in making their church a safe place where children and youth may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within the community of faith. Who is affected? All persons, paid and unpaid adults, whether lay or clergy who have any direct or indirect contact with children and youth participating in any activities or events sponsored by this church MUST complete the application process and attend Safe Sanctuar-ies training prior to January 2009. When are the training sessions? The training sessions at Liberty Grove (presented by Rev. Lewis) will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2008 and again on Saturday, October 18, 2008. Both training sessions are from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Whom should I contact with ques-tions or to attend one of the sessions? If you are a staff member or a volunteer who works with our children or youth, please contact Joan Bailey (301-421-9313), Mark Hanna (301-572-5123) or Kathy Geiser (301-384-3259). If you would like to read more about “Safe Sanctuaries”, additional information is available outside the church office.

For some items, like V-8 Splash, I need

the cap. If you are confused, you can consult

the chart near the chapel here at church, look

on the Internet or call me (301-362-1001) and

together we can try to figure it out.

Sometimes the labels are hard to get off. If

you put a wet cloth on the label for ½ hour or

Thanks for your continuing support.
