Our United Methodist Women’s Crafts Group meet Wednesdays at 1:15-3:00 p.m., in the Church Library.
All women are invited and all types of crafts are welcome with the proceeds from items made then sold at UMW Boutiques going toward mission projects.
Bring your own projects to work on or come on Wednesday night and see if there is something you’d like to help create. Sometimes there are group projects to work on, but most of the time everyone works on their own favorite craft.
