Everyone will be able to join in the study of the Bible and specific study series that are written for women study and discussion groups. Refreshments will be served.

 

Crafting Through God's Love
The Crafting Through God’s Love craft group provides a common thread between the participants’ love of creating and desire to help those in local and worldwide communities through crafting. The group alternates between working on a community service project or a personal project each month. The craft group has used their talents to create preemie for the local
Mercer NICU Unit, chemo hats for local hospitals, afghans for Lutheran World Relief, baby items for Homefront’s homeless mothers’ group house, hats for cancer patients at St. Francis Hospital and other projects. Whether you knit, crochet, needlepoint, cross stitch, embroider, quilt, sew or none of the above there is a place for you in this group. Any person with any level of ability or desire is welcome, and those with no experience at all can come and learn.

Join us on the following dates from 11 am to 2 pm as we make crafts together for ourselves and others.

 
Youth Group
All youth in fourth grade and older are invited to join in one of the Youth Groups at St. Bart. The groups are involved in projects such as crafts for the homebound, caroling, visiting people in homes and working with youth from other churches. Any adult can volunteer to help with the Youth Groups – you don’t have to be a parent but you must be sincerely interested in supporting our youth, the future of St. Bartholomew.
