SEWING MINISTRY
Come join us and make a difference in the community! We make a variety of items: fleece hats/mittens, pediatric pillows, clothing protectors, baby blankets/burp cloths, bandana bibs, Christmas stockings for the troops, quilts, altar linens, walkers bags, and clothing protectors for the elderly, plus much more! No experience is necessary…we need help pressing, cutting, and pinning. We can also teach or refresh sewing skills for those who are interested. We have sewing machines and a variety of donated fabrics.

MARCHING INTO SPRING:
Thank you to the 13 members who attended the March meeting! Efforts were focused on making sheets and pillowcases for nap cots at St. Elizabeth’s Center. We would also like to recognize the exceptional efforts of Chris M. She has been a steadfast contributor to our ministry and our community for many years. Some of her skillful handiwork with the Living Stations costumes is pictured to the left. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your amazing talent with our ministry! Our ministry is very blessed with many dedicated and caring seamstresses!
