Mothers' Day Offering for Festival of Sharing


This Sunday we will be collecting a special offering of items to make baby layettes for new mothers who have been dislocated by natural disasters in Chile and Haiti.

Please bring your contribution to the worship service on May 9th, Mother's Day, in honor or memory of the important women in your life. It has been requested that all items be new and under 12-month in size.

Each layette will need:
  • 6 cloth diapers
  • 2 t-shirts or undershirts
  • 2 washcloths
  • 2 gowns or sleepers
  • 2 diaper pins
  • 1 sweater or sweatshirt
  • 2 receiving blankets (one can be a 3x3 knitted blanket)
The children of the church are invited to help assemble the layettes the following Sunday, May 16th, during Sunday school time, beginning at 9am.
