Which Widow?

I participate on the new Church Leadership Network. Someone there posted this comment about the "widow's mite" banner. Let's get the conversation going? What do you think. I am asking the quilters from Lion's Head to get in on the discussion because they are the talented artists who created these works...

These are beautiful banners! Over the years I have often heard bits of news about Lions Head. It must be a vibrant congregation.

For this banner, you seem to be combining two different stories in your title and description. One parable is Luke 15:8 about a woman who loses a coin and sweeps the house until she finds it. The other story is about a widow who is praised by Jesus because she gives all that she has to the poor (Mark 12 and Luke 21). I am curious - which story is it that is depicted in this banner? It looks like it is probably about the widow giving all she has.

Meditation for today...

Pike Bay United and Central United, Lion's Head -- You Rock! Thanks for such a warm welcome back. We had a great day didn't we. As promised you will be featured this week. While I am preparing this extra big and delightful view of your churches, please quiet your mind and participate in this little Lenten Meditation. See you soon!

New Appointment

Well, I just am so delighted to be a part of the Meaford United Church family. Yup, it's true I am now the Christian Education and Faith Programs Coordinator. Sure is a mouthful, but it means that I am that much closer to what I truly believe is my calling -- diaconal ministry. Thank you to those who put their confidence in me. We'll enjoy the journey together.
