*Good Earth Village Lunch & Learn – “There’s a Story in Every Quilt”
When: Tuesday, September 10
Speaker: Juli Seyedell Johnson
If we’re lucky, quilts wrap us in warmth throughout our lives. They also tell our stories and memorialize milestones. Textile Artist, Juli Seydell Johnson, will share her quilting story which started as a self-challenge to make a quilt for the Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp Quilt Auction in the early 1990’s. She learned to make that first quilt with help from her Grandmother. Since then her pieces have evolved from traditional quilts to storytelling quilts that reflect important themes from Juli’s life and career. The presentation will include a quilt trunk show along with a slide show presentation highlighting the inspiration and process behind many of her pieces. www.buffalograce.com Sign up in the narthex. If you would like to carpool, meet at the church at 10:30 a.m. Free will donation is taken for the lunch.
*The 4th Annual Christ Lutheran Church Craft and Bake Sale and Gnome Cafe will be Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9am-2pm. Please pick up a fact sheet in the narthex to see the update on baked good pricing, event details, raffle details and more. We will need the congregation’s help to bake, create, and volunteer for the event set up and day of the event.
*The Preston Historical Society is excited to announce their fundraising campaign for the Preston Depot Museum and Riverfront Center (at the site of the former Preston Dairy & Farm Building). We have to raise $200,000 to begin work and another $200,000 to finish the construction. As of September 1, we are at $150,000! Any donations at this time are being matched 50 cents/$1 by the Christianson Family Fund! Please consider a donation of any size to the future home of the Preston Historical Society and community event space. Donations can be made out to Preston Historical Society and mailed to F&M Community Bank, Attn: Preston DMRC, PO Box 467, Preston, MN 55965.
