A spiritual home where all are welcome; a healing place in a broken world.

Volunteer Wish List Number Two 

  In the beginning of the year, sometimes we hear the call to do something different or add a new activity.   Last weeks e-mail wished for help with Interfaith Hospitality Network. It included a hostess, someone to play with the kids and dinner set up. Those positions are still available for the next time we host. To volunteer e-mail Mary McClain at  maryemclain55@gmail.com.

This week our wishes are for sewing and design. This can be done on your own in your own time. We wish for:

1. Someone to volunteer to design and make a frontal for the communion table in the nave. You can use your creative skills to make the design for the frontal and to implement it. Or you can do the design and team up with someone to make it. There are a lot of creative ideas on the internet to get you started. Or you can come up with your own.

2. Someone to volunteer to design and make the fair linen for the communion table. This is a smaller project than the one above but just as important because it is the covering used to put the sacraments on for communion.

If you would like to volunteer for either of these projects or if you would rather purchase one or both of the items above contact Carol Lyon at Spikelyon@gmail.com.

3. Someone to sew window coverings for the Great Hall. Again, put your creative skills to work. The treatment can be as simple or as complicated as you want. You can make all the coverings or you team up with a friend to work together. If you would like to volunteer to sew the window treatments contact J. White at mizwone@gmail.com.
