The Weekly Stitch

Good afternoon!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this wonderful cooler weather! Makes me believe that Fall just might be around the corner.
 
Meetings:
Tuesday - 10AM in the Hospitality Room at FBC McKinney
Wednesday - 6:15PM in the Connection at FBC McKinney (NOTE ROOM CHANGE!)
 
Yarns of Hope Bible Study started this last week. We had about 15 ladies who joined us, about half of which were new to YOH and knitting/crocheting. We had a great time getting to know each other and talking about what we will be doing this semester. This week, we will be starting the book and learning about God's purpose for each of our lives. Did you know that we can often our purpose by examining what we are passionate about?
 
Finch Knitting/Crochet Club - We have already been contacted by the 5th grade teacher at Finch, expressing interest in continuing the knitting club this year. For this to be a success, we really need at least 5 or 6 dedicated teachers. If you are interested at all, please let me or Becca Masters know. You don't need to do it every week or be an expert knitter/crocheter to help. You will also need to fill out a volunteer background check at www.mckinneyisd.net.
 
Ongoing projects: Hats, scarves, blankets, toys for Texas Oncology McKinney, UT Southwestern Moncrief Radiation Oncology Clinic and Medical City Children's Hospital. Also, preemie gowns, hats, sweaters and blankets for the LDR Unit at MCCH. 
Take care and God bless,
Gina
