In the spirit of helping those in need, Weavers Mennonite Women (formerly Women's Missionary & Service Commission) is a group that has been meeting to create material goods to share with others since 1908. The meetings have taken place during the daytime, which limits the involvement of many women. If you are interested in an evening group meeting to continue the spirit and tradition of sewing for those in need, please contact Sandi Good or Brenda Layton. You don't need sewing skills to be involved; it is a great place to learn from others! Primer Timers - Save the dates:
