First project

I know you are anxious to hear what our first project will be!
So here is the reveal.  I will let the pictures do most of the talking.













We will be making dolls for Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes.
Our goal is to have enough to put in each box that someone turns in to the church!
We will start sewing in July.

Hope to see you July 15 @ 6:00pm ready to sew!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I am excited to share that HZ has a new ministry - the Daughters of Dorcas sewing ministry. We will meet once a month with the purpose of spreading God's love through various sewing projects. We will be partnering with various organizations to make items for people in need.

We are kicking off with an informational meeting on Tuesday, June 17 at 7:30pm.  We will meet in Room 005 in the Adult Education Wing at HZUMC.  We will go over our vision, mission statement and what our first project will be. There will be light refreshments available.  It should be a fairly short meeting- probably no more than half an hour.
Don't worry if you can't make it- you can join us at any time!



If you do plan on attending, please RSVP to:
carey_fritz@yahoo.com or 814-244-0186
so that we have a general idea how many to expect.

We will begin our monthly sewing nights on July 15 at 6:00pm in Room 005. We will meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month after that. Please bring your sewing machine, thread, scissors, and other essentials to get sewing. We have a project already lined up and are eager to get started!

Not much of a seamstress?! You can still come and help with ironing, cutting and stuffing! We would love to have you join us, we could even teach you how to stitch. 


If you aren't able to join us, but would like to help us get started, please consider donating some fabric (cotton/flannel- various colors and patterns, scraps are good too), thread (any color), or filling/stuffing. We will have a basket in the narthex labeled for Daughters of Dorcas donations. We would also appreciate your prayers for this brand new ministry!

Thank you in advance for your support!
