Greetings all:

@24Donna and I have been discussing whether and how our next MM should be handled given the coronavirus COVID-19. We will do one, but note the procedure will be markedly different to limit the number of trips to the post office.

For May, you will send ONE package to your partner. Inside should be at least four sealed envelopes with a flatish surprise and something to read. The goal here is to send an encouraging and/or inspiring word in the midst of this madness.

Be sure each week's envelope is sealed and has the week labeled on the front. Tuck all four into a large manila envelope, a padded mailer or flat-rate envelope.

Overall Scriptural themes: Psalms 23 and Romans 8. See also the link below to more.

Weekly themes: ALL sender's choice.

Something to read: a letter from you, an article, comic, a devotional, etc.

Week 1 = May 1-9

Week 2 = May 10-16

Week 3 = May 17-23

Week 4 = May 24-31

The weeks are generous and with sender's choice, you don't necessarily have to wait for partners to be assigned, but you do have enough time to personalize if you prefer.

Please pray for your partner, the other members of the swap, our country and this planet as we all #stayhometogether.

Here from a blog are Scriptures to study during the pandemic. I am not affiliated with that site. I just went searching for additional Scriptural resources for anyone who may need or want them.

Swap posted: April 16.

Sign-up by Saturday, April 25. UPDATED 24April20: Sign-up closes a day earlier so people will have a full weekend to prepare.

Send by: Monday, May 4.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Wash your hands. Be blessed.

I really think this is a great way to do our Monday Mailer!

Thanks so much for your input, @24Donna

All: I'm going to assign partners a day early so everyone has the weekend if they want to work on their packages.

Artistic 04/24/2020 #

Partners are assigned. (There were no watchers so I felt OK in assigning Friday instead of Saturday.) Let's get swapping!
