THIRD THURSDAYS OF THE MONTH / 1-3PM FIRESIDE ROOM

Do you enjoy working with your hands? If so, you might want to join our Hearts and Hands group which meets on the third Thursday of each month from 1-3pm. in the Fireside Room. There you will find a small group of women dedicated to creating shawls, lap blankets, baby blankets, and heart pillows. They knit and crochet shawls and blankets for those recovering from surgery or for anyone who needs comfort, they knit baby blankets for the newborn babies, they cut and tie fabric for soft heart pillows to be used for protection from the seat belt for breast cancer patients, heart patients and for any other patient who might be helped with the pillows and they enjoy fellowship with each other as they are working on these.

The heart pillows are distributed for those who need them through The Wellness House in Hinsdale who provide support for all cancer patients. 

A recipient of the heart pillow from The Wellness House, who had gone through surgery and chemo, recently told an HUMC member, “This pillow was a great help in finding comfort after treatment, and I really appreciated it.”

Hearts & Hands welcomes you to join them in their efforts to bring comfort and a little love to those in need. For more information, please contact Myrna Beck via the Church Office (office@hinsdaleumc.com).
