DAYS FOR GIRLS
The vision that every girl and woman in the world should have access to quality, sustainable hygiene supplies started this international program in 2008 Our group of primarily women make colorful kits with pads containing high-quality shields that makes them washable in areas where feminine hygiene products are either not available or too expensive. Several hundred kits have been sent to third world countries, and recently across our southern border to Tijuana and Mexicali. Girls who previously missed school days during their periods are gaining back their "Days for Girls."
When: Noon, Mondays
Contact: Jan Burt
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Each study is based on a theme or person in the Bible and accompanied by a selected book. Excellent teachers bring information outside the reading and pose questions designed to encourage spiritual growth. With a time for sharing joys and concerns, close bonding of the women is a foundation of this group.
When: 6:30 pm, Tuesdays on Zoom (Password: lamesaumc)
