Are you wanting a little project over the summer? Would
you like to keep your hands busy and productive for mission outreach? Presbyterian Women’s Helping Hands Ministry have some simple projects for those who like to knit and for anyone who has a sewing machine and can sew a straight line. Check out PW’s table in Spencer Hall on May 1 or May 8 to pick up instructions to make little Izzie Dolls, Prayer Shawls, or a kit to sew the tops for quilts.
Quilt kits ready to go!
quilts in 2023! Wouldn’t you like to be a part of our mission outreach? A relaxing and rewarding way to spend those lazy days of summer. Gail Clark (313.319.0282) is our summer coordinator for our PW Helpings Hands Ministry. She is more than willing to get you started on a project or two!
The Prayer Shawls are given out by our Stephen Ministers to those who have lost a loved one or to those going through a challenging health crisis. Presbyterian Women are grateful for the good times we were able to have this year. It was wonderful to be able to attend our monthly circle meetings either in person or via Zoom enjoying our friendships and learning about five women in the genealogy of Jesus. Working around COVID, we were able to have five Gatherings complete with our easy box lunches, beautiful center pieces, and inspirational programs.
The little Izzie Dolls (pictured above) provide comfort and hope to children at the Shelter for Abused Women and Children. The tops for quilts will be quilted together next year to make a “House Warming” gift from our church to those who will receive a new home through the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance in 2023. We are challenged to complete 16 to 32
We will start our fall Gatherings on the first Wednesday of November. We look forward to your participation in any or all of FPC’s Women’s opportunities. Stay healthy, have fun, and may God bless you over the summer!
