From The Pastor..
When I was in seminary I was the youth minister at a church in Indianapolis. This church had a wonderful group of people called “the stitchers” who did some really great work.  Among other things they made turbans for cancer patients and blankets for premature babies.  This group was very open about accepting new people, but I never joined them. I do not know the first thing about stitching, and honestly it is a skill that had very little appeal to me.  After graduating seminary, I started at a church in Avon.  To read more click here.
