The Hennessey Farmerettes met at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, at the First Christian Church with Pansy Wheeler serving as lesson leader and hostess.

When members arrived for the meeting, they made Valentine cards with craft supplies Wheeler provided.

Some were very creative and will be shared with friends. Lots of chocolate candy and nuts were on the table for members to snack on during the meeting.

President Dot Miller opened the meeting and Wheeler led all in the pledge to the flag.

The devotion “Unexplainable Love” was given by Mary Curry who also distributed cards with the Bible verse John 3:16 on them.

Roll call was answered by seven members telling one thing they know about the Amish people’s ways of life.

It was reported Kathy Patocka had a great-granddaughter pass away and Lily Rourke isn’t feeling well. Cards to be sent to both.
