It became apparent that the main reasons most of the churches in our Diocese did not come to the Cathedral Bookstore were parking and time of travel. With the aid of faithful volunteers, the Cathedral store was open every Sunday.
So, with the Bishop’s blessings, we started traveling each Sunday to the churches. It soon became a great success. When the Cathedral closed the store in order to use the space for the youth program, I continued providing books to our Diocese with no store front. The road show included the following ministries:
Daughters of the King, Cursillos, Order of Saint Luke, Retreats, Lutheran School Fundraisers, and, in several churches, Fall Fairs.
Prior to COVID, I traveled to Northern California each year, as well as Yuma and Prescott, Arizona. I will resume that schedule in the fall. I presented via Zoom to Province VIII Daughters of the King, and now I enjoy customers from all five states. I also have begun speaking and presenting to local chapters of Daughters of the King.
It is truly an honor to be a part of EBA. My membership and the power of prayer have given me strength and courage to move forward into new aspects of the ministry, involving all the churches through a website and online orders. When the website gets finalized, I will continue to participate as before, but in the event that my health were to fail or other unlikely events occurred in my life, the ministry will live on.
I will be happy to speak with anyone regarding further details or email is fine as well.
Prayers always,
