GROUPS & CLASSES

Loving Threads If you like to knit, crochet, quilt or sew, the Loving Threads Ministry may be the place for you. The purpose of our group is to use our needlework talents to share the love and com-fort of Jesus Christ with others by making prayer comfort shawls and baby blankets. We meet in RM 131 on the 1st floor, at 1:00 p.m. on the FOURTH Thursday of each month. If you cannot attend the meetings, but would like to partici-pate, call Wanda Thorp, 501-282-3269.

Women on Mission Room 129, from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m., Fourth Thursday each month. We are women who want to grow in faith and actively share the love of Christ in our community and around the world. The gatherings will provide an opportuni-ty to pray for our missionaries, learn about their work, in-crease our awareness of their needs, and participate in pro-jects. Contact Wanda Thorp with questions, 501-282-3269.
