One of the best things about being an artsy person is when you can use your hobbies to bring joy to others. Recently, our Bible study group decided to take on a new project: making fleece tie blankets to give to patients in a local nursing home. We’re getting together next Friday to make them, but…
Peeps to the Rescue
