Read the history of this, first poem, then song, “Bread and Roses.” Our local women’s choir, MUSE, sings the song based on the theme.
Not at once; but woman is the mothering element in the world and her vote will go toward helping forward the time when life’s Bread, which is home, shelter and security, and the Roses of life, music, education, nature and books, shall be the heritage of every child that is born in the country, in the government of which she has a voice.
— Helen Todd, 1910.[1]
New Church of Montgomery Board Member, Gloria Shepherd took time out of her Saturday to share a special skill: Crocheting sleeping mats made of plastic bags!
These mats require some basic materials:
You will begin by gathering clean, un-ripped plastic shopping bags. Flatten them, making sure the rounded sides are tucked in. Stack them by threes. Flatten again and cut off the handle end and bottoms of the bags, making straight cuts.
Fold them in half lengthwise twice. Then, cut them into 2″ strips, discarding any that are jagged or not strong enough.
Next tie the strips together with knots (see video 1) and continue making a chain. Eventually you will have a ball. This project will use multiple “yarn” balls.
Make a side knot for your crochet hook, to begin your first chain (see video 2.)
To discover how to make a crochet chain stitch, see video 3:. Make about 75 chains to create your beginning row. It should be approximately 36″ (3 feet long).
Begin your next line of crocheting by hooking into the last hole of the line you just created. You will then make a double chain, which you will pull the “yarn” through. Continue along that line in the same fashion. When you reach the end you will make a single chain stitch and start the third line! Make an extra crochet chain stitch at the end of each subsequent line to create room to line up with your previous line.
When your mat is done, the dimensions should be 3′ x 6′, and you can donate to Matthew 25 Ministries or give them to a person experiencing homelessness!

How very special it was to experience an evening with truly perfect Cincinnati weather! Our church members enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner on a BB Riverboat and embarked on meaningful and fun conversation in a night filled with sights along the beautiful Ohio River.
More pics to be posted as we receive them from our attendees.
Thanks so much, everyone, for celebrating this beautiful Sunday with us. We called to mind what home meant to us: feeling that it is in our hearts, in people we love, and in settings from our life. We prayed for those distant from us to be brought into the home of our hearts!
What a special day to enjoy a beautiful sermon by Rev. Sherrie, good food and conversation, and to appreciate the contributions of 50-year church members and leaders, Pete and Gloria Toot. $350 was raised in their honor to do good works in the church and community!
