Women of Access–We had so much fun at September's Chat and Craft that we are doing it again in October. We'll be meeting at the Stebbins Campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m on Saturday, Oct. 18. Bring along something that you’ve been wanting to work on--it can be anything from knitting to addressing your Christmas cards. Or if you just want to connect with women from church, that's what this time is for. Come and go as your schedule allows. Michelle Pendleton will make a Crock Pot of soup and bring salad fixings, but you can bring along your own lunch if you like. We can’t wait to see you there!

Women of Access–Gather that project that you’ve been wanting to work on (embroidery, crochet, knitting, scrapbooking, journaling, sewing, etc.), and join us on Saturday, Sept. 20, for Chat and Craft.
