Getting started





Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog for Every Stitch a Prayer at Taylor Road Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. We are so excited about the opportunities available for our sewing and crafting ministry. Our first project involves making dresses, shorts, skirts, and decorated T-shirts for children in Brazil. Several members of our church are going to Brazil in June for a church building project and will take the items to the pastor of the new church. They will be distributed to many children who live in the very hot weather of Brazil in simple huts with dirt floors. It is our desire to show the people of Brazil the love of Christ through these simple gifts.

Our newly formed group will meet in room B101 at Taylor Road Baptist Church every second and fourth Tuesday starting on March 10, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. Bring your lunch and plan to stay for the day. Or come for a short time. We'll be sure to keep you busy!

The dress project is only the beginning. We hope to expand in the future to other ministries using our sewing, knitting, crocheting, and crafting skills. This ministry is not only for people with experience with these crafts but also for those who want to learn. There are many tasks in our present project that do not require sewing skills. Please come if you're interested in food, fun, and fellowship.

May many come to know Jesus as their personal Savior as a result of this ministry.
