Bracelet Making for LWC
The next opportunity to make bracelets for the Liberty Women's Clinic will be February 12, from 10am to noon. Join us at the church to create these simple yet powerful handmade bracelets that are very popular with LWC's clients.
Joanna Harrold, one of the nurses, recently shared about a client who brought her newborn to visit. The sweet mother shared that "she received a bracelet at that first visit and that she would always wear it and rub her finger over her chosen word before each prenatal visit throughout her pregnancy. I asked her which word she had chosen for her bracelet - “blessed.” I share in this client’s gratitude - for your support and your prayers, and for the ways that God worked through this clinic to help this mother feel supported and cared for as she moved through her pregnancy from fear and overwhelm to wonderfully blessed.”
Gather Around the Tables
Gather Around the Tables is our Women’s ministry for ladies 19 years and older.
