Midwest Mission Donations
Thank you, Barb Wright, for donating six children’s bicycles to Midwest Mission in Jefferson. Steve and Marsha Nuckels delivered the bicycles. There is a need for more bicycle donations, especially adult bicycles in working condition.
Midwest Mission also has a great need for used medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, knee scooters, canes, etc. Questions? Talk to a member of the mission committee. Donated items will be brought to the Midwest Mission Donation Center in Jefferson.
Plastic Mat Weaving Project
Steve and Marsha Nuckels delivered mats #5,6,7 and 8 (see photo) to Midwest Mission Donation Center in Jefferson.
Mat #9 was completed after their delivery, and we are working on mat #10.
The mat weaving room is now located on the second floor of the education wing and is just east of the restrooms. It’s great to have all the supplies located in one room.
Mat weaving is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon s from 1-3 pm.
An email from Alaire Willits, mat weaving coordinator for MMDC, stated that about 100 looms have been distributed in Iowa and Minnesota. On April 9, 50 mats were sent to the Urban Bike Ministry and another 142 mats went to Midwest Mission in Pawnee for shipping globally (quite likely to Ukraine!).
Sewing Group
Did you know that one of the members of the sewing group does not even live in Carroll? Larry and Sue Becker have purchased a home in Norwalk, but Sue continues to do the serging on the edges of the blankets for our layette kits. Last year we donated 90 layette kits with 2 blankets per kit. Thanks, Sue, for donating all that time to serge 180 blankets. Sewing group will meet again on Tuesday, May 21, from 9-11am in the mission room on the second floor.
