A New Home for Our Puppets

Recently Pastor Rich placed an article in the Muskingum Valley Presbytery newsletter offering our puppets to another ministry that could give them a good home. We had a quick response from Donna at Muskingum Presbyterian Church in Nashport, Ohio. This is what she had to say: "We want to start a children's puppet program. It would be good for the kids. When they have a couple of skits prepared, we are taking them to nursing homes, which means young and old would benefit. We have been praying for puppets for some time. This is so lovely. Thank you!" We are happy that the puppets will enjoy a new home and be used to minister to others once again. The puppets were picked up this morning!
