A Year with St. Clare

Dedicated to the Patron Saint of needle pointers, the St. Clare's Guild is made up of women and men who give tremendous time and talent and resources to glorify God in the beauty of his church. After more than a year of work, the needle pointing of some of the kneelers is being completed. Below are some sneak peeks at the three that are complete. There are also a few snapshots of some (but not all) of the guilders at work.

New Ancient Baptismal Font

Thanks to the generosity of the Howard Templeton Memorial Fund, we have added an antique marble font to our liturgical furnishings. We will dedicate the font on September 7 at the Rally Day Eucharist service. During this service we will tell the amazing story of how over the past 100 years or so this font traveled from Europe to Pennsylvania to Arkansas via ebay. Wait till you hear how much it cost! (Howard must be loving this!)

























The detail below shows a carving we added to this side of the bowl. This carving repeats the original hand carved design on the opposite side of the bowl.

Chicken Fest 2008

Here are a few pictures of our latest fund raiser. Thanks to Chris and Mickey Baugh for spearheading this wildly successful event. Many, many people worked hard to make this such a great event, raising thousands of dollars to help rebuild our heating and cooling system. Unfortunately, the photographer was exhausted by the 100+ degree weather and didn't get photos of everyone. Here are the ones he did get.
