SEWING GROUP TO RESUME JANUARY 9 - QUILTS FOR MISSION TRIPS
Are you interested in mission work but feel you are not up to packing up and leaving for a week? We have a way you can help. A group of ladies meet to make quilts to be taken on mission trips. These quilts are very much appreciated by all that receive them. If this interest you at all we would love to have you join us. No experience is necessary, we will teach you or have a job that you can do. All are invited young and old male and female. You just need a heart for Jesus’s hurting people. I think each of us that have been coming learn a little something from each other and we have a great time of fellowship. We will start up in January the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. On those days there are two opportunities. 1-4 p.m.and 6-8 p.m. But come when you can and leave when you must. There are sewing machines there or you can bring your own . Would love to have each of you join us! Any questions? Contact:
