    Needlepoint Kneeler Cushions Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church Remembering the Process: 2004-2008 FOREWORD The Altar Guild extends heartfelt gratitude to the following individuals and businesses which were extremely generous and helpful to the completion of this project: Dr. David Jones, Senior Pastor, Glenn Memorial UMC The Glenn Memorial UMC Worship Committee, John Patton, Chairman Dr. Steven Darsey, Director of Music, Glenn Memorial UMC Nease’s Needlework Shop, Decatur, GA Corn Upholstery, Tucker, GA Carolyn Gilbert, Celebration dinner Genevieve Edwards, Editing booklet Dan Reed, Carpentry for new storage cabinet Nill Toulme, Photography Petite Auberge Restaurant, Toco Hills Shopping Center Betty Jo Copelan, Publication of booklet for Sunday service Nelia Butler, Sunday bulletin The dedicated women who stitched for months on end have given Glenn a magnificent gift that will enhance the life of the church for a long time. But it was Carole Adams who made this elaborate project work. As chairman of the kneeler committee she approached it with the drive and enthusiasm for the Glory of God that she has given to many other tasks of the church. For over four years she has brought together designer and stitchers at countless meetings- often at her own home, with refreshments. She has sent e-mails, raised funds, and driven miles to deliver supplies. Always helpful and encouraging, she has lovingly but firmly guided the needlepointers to the last perfect stitch… and has even found time to stitch a cushion herself. We salute Carole with
