Do you knit? 
 
Here's a mission opportunity. Newborn/preemie knit hats are being collected at our IN Annual Conference for distribution to hospitals throughout Indiana. Instruction sheets are at the Grace Welcome Center, or online at http://www.themakeyourownzone.blogspot.com/. Click on "Knitting Newborn Hats for Hospitals."  Please put any hats in the Parlor in the basket marked for Annual Conference. 
 
The hats need to be at church by Mon., June 4 so the Brownfields can take them to Annual Conference. Thank you for being a blessing to others.

If you would like to participate in this wonderful opportunity (and possibly meet some of the team members), please RSVP your team by June 10 to IWU Coach Julie Wagner at Julie.wagner@indwes.edu or 210-2831.The cost is $35 per person and Chippendale members are $25 per person. All checks can be made payable to IWU Athletics Women's Golf. You may form your own teams and invite friends to play as well. We will have a wonderful day of fellowship, food and fun.
