Someone asked me if the Nicholas Project has a website, and it reminded me that I have not taken good care of this blog! So here I am after a long absence, with an update.
Our little group has been busy little worker-bees. Last Christmas we were excited to present 107 lap quilts to residents at Southridge Nursing and Rehab center in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Then with the New Year (can you believe it's 2010?) we started making things for small children, to be donated to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates.) We are also making hot-weather clothing to go to a mission in Africa.
Now the organizers of the Cleburne County fair phoned to ask us if we'd set up a table promoting the Nicholas Project. The Fair will run from September 7th through 11th -- come visit us! We will have brochures, as well as samples of our work. I better get busy and make a tiny burial ensemble to show people how important it is to recognize that a teensy stillborn baby is a beloved child -- not just a "fetus."
Shalon y'all! Chaplain Donna
Sharing the love of Christ, we create or gather items for disaster assistance, preemies, stillborn babies, shelters, nursing homes, and others as we are able. Our workshops are in Heber Springs and Pangburn, Arkansas. If you'd like to join with us or donate (funds or materials) please email and we'll be very grateful for your help. The number one best thing you can do is pray for our recipients' needs and for our wisdom on how best to help. May God's peace rest on you.
