Sending each of you a great big hug!

* Thread (neutral and various colors)
* Power strip/extension cord(s)
* Sewing Machine instruction book (if you aren't familiar with your machine)
* Safety pins for pinning quilts

Directions:

The address is 6440 King Road in Loomis. The church phone number is 916-652-6011. My cell phone is 916-996-2779

From Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville, etc.: Take Highway 80 east to the Horseshoe Bar Road Exit

At the end of the exit ramp turn Right. Go over the freeway and past the Raley's shopping center a short distance to "downtown" Loomis. There is a light. Turn Right onto Taylor Road. Then go another short distance to the next light. Turn Right onto King Road. You will go down a gentle hill and then up. The church is at the crest of the hill on the Right.

From Folsom:

1. Take Auburn-Folsom Road to King Road.

(King Road is miles beyond Douglas Blvd.; It is after Horseshoe Bar Road. You will come to a firehouse on the RIGHT, King Road will be on your LEFT.)

2. Follow King Road until you go over the freeway. The church is on the LEFT.

(If you find you end up at a stop light at King and Taylor Roads, you have gone too far. Turn around and go back. You will go down a dip then crest the hill. The church will be on the right.)

The Red Hat Society Prayer

Loving Father,
In your extravagance you have painted the world with bold stripes and gloried in our differences. When colors proclaim our uniqueness, let our little eccentricities be expressions of our joy for living. When our time together looks like a costume party, let our gatherings be a time of genuine community. Out of the abundance of your grace, you have set before us a small portion of your gifts: time,color,food, and compassion. Bless our time. Bless our joyful celebration of creative life. and bless both the food we share and those who labored so we might enjoy it. Most of all, use us: our flamboyance, our joy and our sharing that we may be a blessing to all we meet.
Amen.
