Our crafting crew has been meeting for a few months now, and we’re loving the projects and the laughter! We gather in the Conant Room to create handmade items for charities and enjoy great company.
We’ve worked on prayer shawls, blanket squares, Easter butterflies, and more—and we’re always open to new ideas.
When We Meet: Every 4th Thursday of the month, from 7:00–8:30 PM (or so).
All skill levels are welcome—even beginners! While we’ve mostly been an all-female group, we’d love to welcome anyone interested.
