+ BRING IN A CHAIR!
These chairs were under the tent during last Saturday’s storm that massacred our event tent (a moment of silence, please)…
Your trusty Senior Warden played hooky on Monday afternoon to collect all the remaining debris and wash mud off of the chairs. Now you can help with the next step. The chairs are stacked outside the “mailbox” doors. If you are able, please grab a chair or two and bring it inside to the Memorial Room where we stack them on the left side wall behind the couch. Thanks!
+ POCKETS OF HOPE RETURNING!
On Saturday, May 6, the Pockets of Hope group will be returning to the Parish Hall.
Pockets of Hope is a non-profit organization providing free mastectomy sweatshirts for after surgery. If you know how to sew and are interested in helping sew pockets into zip up hoodies for women recovering from their mastectomy surgery, come join us – just bring your sewing machine.
Can’t sew? Don’t have a machine? No worries – there are other ways to help including cutting, ironing and the beauty of fellowship! Check out @_pocketsofhope on Instagram. Questions? kiersten.wertz@gmail.com
