Wonderful
Works (and the Knit Wits)
Wonderful Works Begins Again!
Thursday, September 4 at 10 a.m. in Room 184.
This is our first meeting of the new church
calendar year. All women are invited to attend.
We have great fellowship while we work on
projects.
Formed in 1985,
Wonderful Works is a hands-on mission group of 15-20
women who serve the local community, needy
communities elsewhere in the world and the church.
Women use their sewing skills, create craft
projects, and perform acts of service out of love
for others. Any woman who would enjoy this
kind of activity along with the wonderful fellowship
throughout the morning is invited to join.
The group meets on the first and third Thursdays,
September to May. Projects have included items
such as: knitted caps for babies, children, and
adults, blankets, quilts, shawls, lap robes, aprons,
baby saques, stuffed animals, heart pillows for
breast cancer patients, walker caddies, Chrismons,
Christmas favors, table centerpieces, greeting
cards, Biblical costumes, puppet backdrops, and
special baptismal dolls. Among our completed
projects for one year alone were: 125 Christmas
decorations, 75 caddies for walkers, 33 knitted
caps/turbans, 3 afghans, 61 stuffed animals, 23
pillows for abused children, and 11 chair cushions.
These items have been
distributed to: Rivers of the World, Crisis
Nursery in Zambia, Africa, Brethren Service
Center, local hospitals, Guest House,
Edmondson-Telford Center, Gainesville Care
Center, The Guest House, local nursing and
retirement homes, and First Presbyterian Church
of Gainesville.
You don't need to know how to sew to be of great help to Wonderful Works.
Come join us!
