The Pastor’s Mother Is Beginning A Library…

February 26th, 2010 by John

The pastor’s mother – Nancy Jenkins Follett-MacDonald – eighty four years old… resident of a nursing home…confined to a wheel chair for the past three decades… afflicted with diabetes, heart disease, and kidney complications… soon to have two toes amputated… has been given permission by the owners of the nursing home to begin a library. The owners of the nursing home have set aside a room in the activities area for the central library. They are building shelves on each ward as “branch libraries.” They have found an assistant to help his mother; and they have made rubber stamps to mark the books.

What Mrs. Follett now needs are the books – hard cover, good quality, and in good condition. If you can spare some books of this kind, please bring them to church during Lent. We will ship these books the least expensive way – by putting them on the bus where the pastor’s sister can pick them up in Massachusetts. Boxes and cartons will be available next week to receive whatever books you wish to bring. Many thanks.
