Grace Episcopal Church will host a Craft Day on Nov. 27 from noon to 4:00 p.m. The church invites everyone to be part of this outreach activity.

Craft Day @ Grace

According to Grace Notes, it will be cutting and sewing fleece hats and scarves for the homeless. It encourages everyone to take part in this event. No sewing skill is required for joining Craft Day.

It will be another opportunity for sharing blessings and the love of Christ to others in need. If available, participants are instructed to bring some tools: scissors that cut through the fleece, rotary cutters, quilting type rulers, and a cutting mat.

Grace Episcopal Church also announces that a Serger will be present to sew hats. Meanwhile, the scarves do not require sewing. The church will use leftover black and brown fleece leftover from last year but welcomes more materials.
