Earlene Foote, CPC chairman at St. Stephen's Church, Wichita KS, has many of her fellow
parishioners participating in the Church Periodical Club's ministry. Part of her story was
featured in the Fall 07 issue of the Quarterly where she told about sitting with her penny
jar at the "first table" in the parish hall to greet everyone to the coffee hour. Many at St.
Stephen's are members of CPC as well. Earlene says the support of her rector, the Rev. Dr.
Steven W. Mues, is the key to her success. Her interview with him appears in the Spring 08 issue
of the Quarterly. 
Clergy and a former parishioner of St. Mark's Anglican Church, Umunachi Obowu, Imo State, Nigeria,
celebrate receiving grants from National Books Fund and Miles of Pennies during a service in March.
Dr. Stephen C. Uche, an active member of St. Aidan's Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor, MI, requested the
grants for the youth and adults of St. Mark's, then delivered the money and helped church volunteers
with transportation and other expenses when they shopped for the books. The purchases, for both adults
and children, were presented at a Eucharist celebration that included prayers, singing, dancing,
clapping and shouting Alleluias. Each of the books is stamped "Compliments of Church Periodical
Club, The Ministry of the Printed Word."

All Souls Episcopal Church, established early in the 20th Century in a store front in
the oil fields of Midwestern and Edgerton, Wyoming, has an active past. United Thank Offering
helped parishioners build a log church with hand peeled logs harvested from Big Horn Mountains
in the late 1930’s. The building had no water but it had electricity and natural gas, a
faithful missioner Louise Blake, and it overlooked the two communities. The missioner, a
friend of Province VI Representative Lois Hall’s mother, served the church from 1928 to 1964.
UTO helped again in 2006. The building was moved to Kaycee, a more active community, and was
renovated. The National Books Fund of the Church Periodical Club granted funds for Books of
Common Prayer and other worship materials for the “new” church. The Rev. Dana Lohse, rector,
says she “anticipates an increasing number of worshippers” and looks forward to seeing the
church grow.
