There is a room on the second floor of Grace that is filled with sewing machines. In different seasons, ministry teams have used them. One sewing team iteration made tote bags for various groups. Another team made pillows. Most recently the quilting group used them.
Through our connections with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), we’ve learned that sewing machines are in demand in the local refugee community. In the refugee community, the women primarily stay home with children, and a sewing machine is of high value in the home.
Most of the sewing machines in our church were donated over the years We plan to give away the majority of them to the IRC. If you donated one and would like it back, please let the church know, 316-684-5215. We donate machines by November 1, if we do not hear from anyone.
