Going To Pieces sewing group
We had an incredibly great day Monday 4/14/2025. We had five sewing machines and three cutters. We went through two garbage bags full of donated fleece ..sorted another box of donated fabric and sewed and cut and sewed... for 5 hours!
24 fleece quilts and 6 receiving blankets were completed today.. plus 4 baby quilts and 27 receiving blankets were made before today. These blankets are all ready for the UMW layettes!!!!
A larger throw blanket was also made that will be distributed at an assisted living/ nursing home visit.
Merry Mat makers
The Merry Mat Makers are making sleeping mats from plastic grocery bags Tuesdays at 6:00 PM and Thursdays at 10 AM in L09, the Loom Room downstairs. Making the mats is easy and open to all ages and abilities. We'll show you what to do. You can try weaving which requires standing, or you can sit and fold, cut and tie bags.
Who doesn’t love having a good place to recycle their bags? There is a collection box in the Friendship Room for clean, dry, empty grocery bags. This is a way for those to help, who can't join us but can donate bags.

Blooming gardeners
We welcome those who are interested in keeping our church beautiful throughout the year, inside and out. The summer of 2020 the Blooming Garden team worked with memorial monies to create a place to sit with God west of the front door. We invite you to come and pray.
