The Westminster Presbyterian Women’s Circles:
“Circle of Love” and “Circle of Hope” are asking all women to participate in their 2008 mission project supporting "DAYBREAK. This year’s project is making pillow cases. The Pillows and Cases will then be distributed to the youth at Daybreak.
Please come to the fellowship hall on February 23rd at 9:00 a.m.; bring your rotary cutters, scissors, thread, sewing machines, and most of all yourselves for a wonderful time of fellowship and activity. Even if you don’t know how to sew there’s a job for you. There is something for everyone to help with this mission project. This year’s project is making pillow cases. The Pillows and Cases will then be distributed to the children at Daybreak.
“DAYBREAK” is a community-based ten bed shelter providing emergency shelter and crisis counseling services to abused, neglected, runaway, throwaway and otherwise homeless youth from 12 to 17 years of age. Thousands of children have passed through its doors to find safe shelter from the street or removed themselves from abusive situations. A child staying at Daybreak has little or no belongings. The Westminster Presbyterian Women’s circles have chosen to make each child a pillow that they can keep and take with them.
Come and sew some love into a pillow with the women of Westminster to brighten the day of a lost child and bring them sweet dreams.
