A few years ago, we started a fellowship group at St. Martin’s. Ladies of the town were welcome to join us for fellowship one afternoon a week. It is also a place for people who have recently come to live in Gander to make friends and know that they are welcome.
Some ladies bring a project they are working on, and some have learned how to knit. Others get help and/or give advice when needed. We also have a book exchange. Our first project was baby quilts, which were given to babies at Baptism from our church family.
Some things we have made and distributed where needed are quilts, afghans, baby items, knitted socks, mitts, caps, and scarves. This past fall, we made approximately 100 bibs for local seniors’ homes. We have also received items from ladies living at the seniors’ home, and people from our community donate material and wool to us.
Thank you to all who help and to those who give us donations. This group has truly been a blessing to our church and our community.
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
