Paulette Gaines- Northern Region


A servant heart lives the walk- not just the talk. 
 That is Paulette Gaines.
Here is a peek into the
 heart and soul of a servant leader.


On Saturday, February 28, 2015
this group of women gathered at 
Peace Lutheran Church in DC.

To make pillowcase dresses
 for little girls in Haiti.

Sara Wilson joined this event
 because of her heart for Haiti
 after a mission trip there in High school.

Terri Bailey displays a lovely finished dress.


Paulette has been a long-time
 advocate for the LWML-
at all levels.
Seeing the need and
 bringing hearts and hands together.


A day out of the ordinary.
Using gifts and talents-
and maybe learning a bit along the way

Bringing beauty to fabric with LOVE and 
sending HOPE.

We laughed and shared life stories.


Paulette pours courage into women to do more 
together than they can do by themselves.
That is Gospel Light living in the flesh.
We give thanks to God for
Paulette- encourager.


 A $250 grant from Thrivent Financial 
was given  to purchase threads, 
bias tape, food for the volunteers
 and any other items needed
 in making the dresses.
 Pillow cases were donated 
by those attending and others for the project.
 The project coordinator, Georgetta Watts,
 was very instrumental in helping us
 to apply for and obtaining the grant. 


Paulette serves with her husband Rev. Lloyd Gaines
 at Peace Lutheran Church in the District of Columbia.
  This event was supported by THRIVENT- 
and we thank them for their support.
