THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE... In this issue of The Shepherd’s Voice, we have included an envelope, in hopes you will use it. Perhaps you would like to order some nuts—our annual NUT SALE has returned and will be conducted with proper social distancing! Maybe you still have not entered the drawing for our beautiful handmade quilt. Or, perhaps you are willing to send a gift in support of the ongoing work of the Shepherd’s Center of KCK. Whatever your choice, we sure hope you will use the envelope! As always, we are full of gratitude for all of our donors, volunteers and partners. We’re still here, and we are patiently waiting for when we can all be together again. We fear that is going to take longer than we originally thought.

The day will come when you WISH you had this gorgeous quilt on your bed!!! Our friend Sylvia Kenner, Designer Quilting by Sylvia, has created this handmade quilt and donated it to us so that we can offer you an opportunity to win it. Support the Shepherd’s Center of KCK and have an opportunity to display this fabulous 90 x 90 (Queen sized) quilt:
