Association and Church NewsSewing for Missions In November 2013, a small group of ladies at FBC Hamilton launched a new
mission endeavor - sewing for missions. They recently celebrated their one year
anniversary. Their first completed project was making quilts for Moldova. Other
projects included children's outfits and sensory blankets for the Alabama
Baptist Children's Home and adult bibs and walker bags for the nursing home.
The group is grateful to the church for helping renovate their room, donating
supplies and providing funds.
Some of the projects the group completed this past year.
