Ladies from Mt. Olive and Messiah are now knitting small hats to be donated to the Mercy Hospital "preemie" ward. A new mother chooses the hat she would like for her baby. The hats, made out of a variety of yarns and colors, are just one small way to let her know that someone is thinking about her. Many of us are "beginners", so join us and have fun learning a new skill while sending a message of love to a new mother!!

Every other Wednesday from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. women of Mt. Olive and Messiah meet at Messiah to cut, piece, and tie quilts. The quilts are given to Lutheran World Relief and needy organizations in the Des Moines area. If you are interested in learning a new skill or using an old one, please join us. If you want to help in another capacity, you may donate old sheets, blankets, or pieces of fabric.

Did you know that many parents whose premature babies die need to shop toy stores for burial clothing? In response to this need, the Tuesday women's Bible study group of St. John Lutheran Church in Waverly, Iowa, has organized the "Diana's Angels Project". The purpose of the group is to sew and package garments in several sizes and styles which will fit tiny infants. These are donated to area hospitals where they are given to families facing these tragic losses.
For more information email: Michele Banwart or call 515.201.5174
We are also knitting very small white hats for the Diana's Angels Project.
