We are Online!
To Our Dear Community:
I get messages each day of positive support from the community and people looking toward the future. Our sewing peeps miss us so much!
As a deacon, I am concerned by the effects of anxiety on people mentally, physically and spiritually. If we can help to keep ourselves grounded in crafts, it is good to extend that as much as we can.
Zoom, a free video conferencing platform, is proving to be a great help in isolation. We are offering several of our free clubs through Zoom. Click on the Online tab above for all the information.
