We are welcoming new members on September 26. Funds for FLANNEL! Since OGT has sent so many feminine hygiene kits overseas, some donated supplies have run out! OGT is completely out of soft flannel fabric necessary for these kits, one yard of 45” wide flannel per kit. If you can contribute clean, gently used flannel fabric or new flannel fabric (any color, any pattern), bag and label it "Flannel for OGT” and funds it in the Quilters’ Room (left of the foyer coffee set up in the Fellowship Hall). To provide funds, write "Flannel for OGT” on your check’s memo line, placing it in the offering plate on Sundays. All donations greatly appreciated for OGT to continue this ministry. Questions?
