DO YOU LIKE TO SEW?

“Changing lives one little dress at a time…”.
Little dresses for Africa is a non-profit Christian organization which provides relief to the children of Africa. Simple dresses are made out of pillowcases and distributed through the orphanages, churches, and schools of Africa to plant in the hearts of little girls that they are worthy.
Knowing the history of girls in Africa and the difficult road that lay ahead, a traveler decided she would take back some dresses to the children in the villages. A small group of ladies began to sew simple little dresses, made out of pillowcases, to be distributed to young girls through the orphanages of Africa. This was only the beginning…

Do you remember our Little Dresses for Africa last summer? Did you help with the sewing? Did you make some of the darling dresses? Well we're going to do it again this summer. The patterns will be available in Purdy Hall starting June 2nd. and we'll round up the finished dresses in late October. The pattern is simple to follow, the dresses easy to make, and they can be decorated any way YOU choose with rick rack, buttons, ruffles, pockets, etc. Each dress turns out so cute and is fun to make. Last year we mailed off 79 dresses in late October. Let's see what we can do this year.

This Is For You and It's FREE...

Are you looking for a way to connect with the real God?
Are you looking for Bible study that invites you to use your brain?
Are you looking for a family of faith that will care for you and pray for you?

The Bridge Christian Fellowship may be just what you're looking for. Our worship time is simple, yet up to date. Our Bible study looks beyond those answers that seem "too easy" to consider what the original authors wanted to say to the people of their own day and why. In this way we can get a better handle on what God wants to say to us today. Our prayer time addresses whatever needs we bring. We pray for each other, and we pray for those concerns that are on our hearts.

Feel free to come as you are. Shorts and T-shirts are every bit as welcome as shirts and ties. Feel free to bring kids. We will have childcare available. Come ready to speak up, if you'd like to, as we value each other's thoughts and opinions. Especially bring an open heart, for you'll have a chance to encounter the real God and you'll meet some pretty terrific people as well.

The Bridge meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in the main followship room (Purdy Hall) at East Whittier Presbyterian Church. We usually finish around 8:45 PM. The church is located on Second Street between Strub and Michigan. The address is 14061 Second Street. Please call the church office if you have questions. 562-698-9948.
