On April 8th, Unity Circle invited Sojourner Family Peace Center to provide us with information about their organization. Our presenter, Lindsay, was amazing and we were so moved by all that they do. They served about 10,000 women this last year and expect those numbers to rise this year. One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. One in ten men will experience domestic violence. A person is 99.836% more likely to survive domestic violence if they connect with Sojourner. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of people experiencing domestic violence. They work to provide a pathway to peace for survivors and abusers through opportunities to make positive and lasting changes for themselves and their children. Thirteen co-located partners make it possible for survivors to access an array of services under one roof to achieve safety, healing, and well-being. If you would like to help with this great organization, please contact them at 414-276-1911. The Sojourner 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline is 414-933-2722.
Our May 13th meeting will be at 1:00 pm in the Fireside Room. Jane Henderson will be giving us a demonstration on arranging potted plants and other spring planting tips. We welcome all who would like to join us.
Our June 10th meeting will be a Salad Luncheon. We will have a sign-up sheet at our May meeting for the type of salad you will be bringing. Our group welcomes all women who are looking for Christian fellowship, enlightening programs, sharing experiences, and giving support to one another. We would love to have you join us. If you have questions about our group, please call Annette or the church office.
Activities
Yarn Ministry Group
All women and men are invited to participate the first and third Wednesdays each month from 2:00pm to 4:00pm to learn how to make yarn hats using a circular loom. The group meets in the small dining room. All craft enthusiasts of any craft are welcome. As we become more skilled, we plan to add some Bible study during the two hours.
