'R' is for rest, recreation, recuperation and refreshment. R and R is a church social group aimed at supporting and caring for mothers rather than focussing on the kids. Come along and be encouraged in your role as a mother and validated as an individual.
Enjoy good coffee and yummy morning tea, great conversation with other mums, and occasional speakers on different topics. Dads are welcome too! If possible, it would be great if you could bring a plate of morning tea to share. We'd love to see you there!
Patch and Chat is all about patchwork, friendship, and building sewing skills together. Enjoy the craft of patchwork in a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. You are welcome, whether you are a beginner or an experienced hand.
Members usually work on their own projects, while sharing resources and knowledge with one another. We also share a short Christian devotional called Patchwords. The ladies who attend look forward to meeting each fortnight. We're a caring group who enjoy helping one another. When life gets busy, having a definite time set aside each fortnight also helps members progress with their projects.
One special memory for the group was the time we made a quilt for a family who had lost their home in the 2003 Canberra bushfires. Another time the group made quilts for some children who had recently lost their mother to cancer.
Come and try patchwork... you may find it's the craft for you!
