Praise God we had a lovely afternoon of tea, lunch, and talking about God's work in US Prisons -- through the little stamp. Over 30 guests came to hear about God's work through the ministry -- and to give Him praise for His Kingdom work.

Tables were adorned with bird cages, baby's breath and porcelain birds --- to match the theme of grace which sings even in hard situations.  Rochelle used her own teacups and tea pots from her collection.

Tea sandwiches, finger foods and petite-fours were enjoyed by all. ​ Rochelle's friends came all the way from Michigan, bringing hand-made chocolates. Rochelle just came back from Ireland/Scotland, bringing tea from Balmoral Castle, Scotland which everyone said was delicious. It was the Queen's Jubilee Special Blend.

Everyone donated STAMPS for the ministry --- Rochelle gave each guest a thank-you gift bag to take home.

The Very Reverend Kyle Tomlin (Rector of Church of the Messiah) said a special prayer over the ministry.  A couple of very special friends gave testimonies on how the ministry touched them when they were incarcerated. All hearts were blessed.
