Knitter’s Prayer 

Dear Lord,

Bless these needles that they stay strong and light so they don’t tire the hands that wield them;bless this yarn with strength and softness that it will form a cloth of warmth and comfort; bless these hands with strength and skill so they may make well-crafted gifts; bless this heart with strength and perseverance so I will see this work through to bring comfort to those in need; but most of all, dear Lord, bless the wearer of this cloth with strength and comfort that their burdens may be lightened and their hearts gladdened with the realization that they are loved. Amen.

Al's Montana Adventure!

Whitlash Community Presbyterian Church doesn’t have a pastor, so a young couple asked Al to baptize their son, Chisholm Earl Thompson, during worship. Al also delivered the sermon that Sunday.

St. Mary Lake is located on the east side of Glacier National Park along the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The 10-mile long lake offers a variety of hiking trails.
