You can share your gratitude for our church, certain ministries, or places where you volunteer. Then, post it on the glass wall as a way to share gratitude and give thanks to God.

Whatever you would like to work on. We will meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month.

Fidget Mats Plus
Our fidgeters have been very busy and very productive! There are several mats ready for delivery, hopefully before any more snow flies! We call ahead to see if there is a need for our mats and that will take place the first full week in November.
Before we deliver to the community, please let us know if there is a need from our own congregation for these mats, for any reason, and please remember because of your generosity in giving fabric, doodads and gizmsos we are able to gift all mats, cuffs, kids’ books, aprons and Foley bag covers wherever there is a need.
Please join our group every Thursday @ 10am, we’d love to have you with us. Come out of curiosity to see what we do!
