 Waterville Kroger location.

Times are one-hour slots (though you may take two) running from 10:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Grab a buddy (always more fun that way!) and sign up for a time that works for you.

Bells, kettle, aprons, and sign are provided. Dress warmly as you will be standing in the Kroger Lobby.

A Mission Opportunity for Anyone Who Sews

For many years, Carl & Marilyn Fox from our congregation have graciously sewn hundreds of School Kit bags for our July - August Mission Project, which sends the kits across the world through Church World Service. As of this year, the couple have decided to hang up their needles, so we are in need of crafty people who would be willing to sew up some fabric tote bags. It only takes 1/2 yard of sturdy fabric (45" wide), thread, and a sewing machine. A perfect project for those winter days and evenings when we are tucked at home!

We are in need of about 80 bags each year, but if several of you were able to just make a few, we would have it covered in no time.

The pattern can be found on the Welcome Table in the Gathering Space.

SoulCollage® is an intuitive process using images to create personal prayer cards. SoulCollage® helps name the parts of ourselves that we value and also want to work on--as well as naming the parts of the Divine that we often overlook.

A visual journal to discover your inner voice, this process can be a spiritual practice of tending soul while expressing self. People are amazed at the beauty of their cards and the ability to access inner wisdom as the cards are held in prayerful listening. Fortunately you do not need to be an artist or have artistic skills to be successful in creating SoulCollage® cards!

Using pre-made images from magazines, anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.
