Our 2013 Project is for...

The Union Mission in Norfolk, VA. http://www.unionmissionministries.org/ Our official kickoff will be April 1. When I called them to see if they had a need for a certain amount of winter sets, she said that it was way more than we could fulfill so just give as much as we can. As a result, the SHOL team has no set number goal of sets for this project. Let's just get started and do our best. As usual, I will request a monthly tally of completed sets to keep each other encouraged. Let's pick up our hooks and needles with gusto and worship our Lord with our hands. Have an amazing Easter ladies!

Dust off those hooks and needles - 2013 Project Coming Soon

Easter is this month and I'm currently narrowing down this year's project. There are so many people in need in Hampton Roads and this year there seems to be a greater numbers of people facing homelessness. At the same time, my heart longs to create items (wheelchair/ walker totes, wheelchair shoulder wraps, etc.) for seniors in low-income nursing homes. So many needs I feel our hooks, needles and two hands can fulfill. Prayerfully considering all our options for our 2013 project. We'll be kicking off on April 1 but I will unveil our project a few days earlier. Our 2013 project is coming soon!
