Yarn needed

Hi everyone, we are in need of some specific yarn donations for our mission team to take with them to Kenya. One of the ladies on the team is teaching the women there to make a specific item with knitting looms, that will be made as souvenirs for the Mission gift shop.We need the yarn by 15 June so the team can pack. The list is short but as much yarn as possible would be great.

Eastside Nursery

As we fill needs for our missions we are also delighted to meet needs at our church. The nursery needed nursery quilts, receiving blankets, burp cloths and boo-boo bags. These are some of the quilts that were made for the nursery.

Workday - Nov 2011

Wonderful times - getting together to work on various projects, laugh and catch up with each other. We get to meet new people. Most of all we share a bond in sharing in Gods' work by using the talents we He has given us to bless people all over. It is a wonderful opportunity.
