Celebrating the closing of a "Home" church: Bergthal - Wynona, Kansas

Photo: Last summer Wynona got us together weekly to work on laying out quilt tops using her most impressive quilt block collection.  Eighteen quilt tops later, we headed for the MCC quilting blitz in Yoder on Tuesday where over 100 quilts tops were tied to be sent around the world to those in need.

My home church is closing this summer, and I found this recent picture on their facebook page.  Wynona Unruh (in the picture)  made all the quilts, or quilt tops.

I celebrate with Thaine the memories of the work of the "Home" church.  There are many issues connected to saying "Good by" to a person's "Home" church.  My "Home" church in Delft, Minnesota, happened several years ago and that was followed by the closing of the "New Hope" church in New Hope, Minnesota, the church I was a member of when my "Home" church closed.
