Ah-Sew Craft Group
Ah-Sew is the Women's Fellowship craft group. Lend a hand in sewing, knitting, gluing, stamping, painting, pinning and more. These crafts are sold throughout the year at various Women's Fellowship events, including the monthly programs. Join the group for fun, friendship, craft projects and plenty of laughter. There is no need for you to have craft skills; there is no registration and no reservations. Drop in anytime and stay as long as you like.
