Sewing and craft revolution

Message

From mission partners Peter and Sally Bartlett in Paraguay: "Sally is a member of the Christian Ladies in Action group
at St Andrews Cathedral, and our previously sedate sewing and craft club (to make things to sell to raise funds for several of the Church’s ministries) has seen an unexpected and delightful change this year. The teenage girls from the Puerta, a substance abuse rehabilitation centre, have joined the club! This has meant impromptu dancing shows, cake baking, birthday teas, many jokes, laughter, tears, Bible meditations on subjects such as being a peacemaker and God doing the impossible, embroidery, bag making and dressmaking. The ladies have received the girls with open hearts and arms and for the girls the club is a safe place where they are loved and given the attention they crave." Give thanks for this development and uphold the members of the group in prayer.
