NEW ADDITION THIS YEAR TO THE TAPESTRY EVENT! It all happens on FRIDAY, Feb. 20. 2015 SERVICE PROJECT DUMAS WESLEY: The Sybil Smith House “Restocking Shower” The Sybil Smith House is an outreach ministry for Dumas Wesley. Apartments are available for women and their children as a means of having safe housing while the women are preparing and learning how to manage their finances as well as job training that will help prepare them to be able to live independently and be self-supporting. When one of the families moves out, they are able to take the linens and cookware with them to their new home. It costs approximately $300 to re-supply a unit. Our project this year is to help restock several apartments. All items will go toward restocking apartments at The Sybil Smith House. A complete shopping list of needs for the kitchen, bathroom, and household items can be found on a separate sheet included as an insert in this brochure. 1:00—4:30 p.m. Friday: HANDS ON PROJECT APARTMENT Restocking—we will gather to sort and box items for the kitchen, bathroom, and miscellaneous household items.

Join this group for a walking prayer experience. ADDRESS_______________________________________________________ Miss Laura, as she is affectionately called, loves her family, children, and horses. On any given day, you will most likely find her wearing cowboy boots. If you hear a horse neighing and galloping inside, don’t worry. It’s just her favorite ring-tone. Miss Laura is the Executive Director of The Place of Possibilities, Inc. and has served as the founding and Lead Pastor of All God’s Children United Methodist Church in Aulander, NC for 17 years. Reverend Early is a missionary to the church’s forgotten. Passing up an upwardly mobile ministry, she chose to return to a small destitute town to work with the poor. Every worship service includes a meal because Laura understands that people cannot feed their souls if their stomachs are empty. Her stories will move you to find your God-shaped destiny and embrace your God-given call to mission. If you ever wanted to be in a worship service and experience the still small voice of God, attend one where Laura Early is speaking. GOING GREEN— presented by Beth Bond. Relevant information will be presented about being a more conscientious consumer as it pertains to product packaging and disposal.
