There's a new ministry at Grace Bible Church - Grace-ful 'Bag Ladies'
In the photo above Linda Sourbeck & Camilla McKee show some of the pillow cases that have been embellished and donated to this ministry. These 'Traveling Bags' are actually pillow cases that will be given to women who are temporarily housed in shelters.
Due to conflicting Spring & Summer schedules, this ministry is currently home-based. You can work at your own pace, make the bags from a pattern, or simply embellish a pre-made pillow case. Please add a card no larger than 5"x6" with a Bible verse or words of encouragement to each pillow case. At the end of May, June & July, all bags will be collected by Linda Sourbeck and then given to Enchanted Makeovers (for further information on this outreach, go to http://www.terrysenchantedcottage.com/ ). 
A pillow case may seem like such a small thing to those of us who have homes of our own, but to a woman who's in a shelter, they speak of God's love for them made visible through the hands of His people. Whether it is one or many, the 'Bags' will be very much appreciated.
