SIS is starting a project for cancer patients! We are knitting, or crocheting, chemo caps, ear warmers, and heart-shaped pillows for the Cancer Center. If you would like to help, there are patterns and materials available in the Ladies’ classroom and the SIS room. If you don’t sew and would like to help, there will be pillows to be stuffed, etc . Work can be done at home if you are unable to attend the 1st Thursday meetings. For questions, contact Patsy Gooch or Cathy Shelton.
If you’d like to send a card of encouragement to the individuals in Oxford, Mississippi—whom some of our members had the opportunity to assist after the ice storm—their addresses are available on the foyer tables at each entrance.
Looking for a midweek boost? Join us for a Bible class every Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM in Room 49. This class is led by our Shepherds and is a great opportunity for study, discussion, and encouragement.
