Stole Making with Inside Out
|
Saturday, June 8th, 9am-2pm
As part of the Inside Out group, we are seeking volunteers to help make rainbow stoles as part of an action planned by Sacred Witness and Reconciling United Methodists of NC (RUM-NC). The stoles will be passed out to delegates to wear at Annual Conference in June to increase visibility for a fully inclusive church and show our resistance to the harmful legislation passed in February at General Conference.
We’re hoping that DMUMC can make 100 stoles, and several other churches are also sponsoring their own work days to contribute additional stoles.
- 3-4 people to cut fabric (no experience needed!)
- 3-4 people to sew (bring your sewing machine, scissors and sewing kits)
- 3-4 people to iron (bring your iron and ironing board)
