Sewing Angels and RS Sisters Souper Service

A recent Sewing for Service on a 'Souper' Saturday event combined two religions, Catholic and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with many loving hearts in producing much needed supplies.  Bereavement dresses and blankets, pj's, hats, quilts and much more were made as neighbors joined together with fifteen sewing machines and hundreds of busy hands to help those in need.    The completed items were donated to the St. Martha's Baby Project in Ogden.  The idea came about when  Rebecca Nichols and the her neighbor Pat, of the Sewing Angels talked about a joint effort. 

Pat Bergeron, who coordinates the Sewing Angels group, meets every Monday morning after mass bringing supplies to work on various projects.   This group of sisters and friends saw a need and decided to make a difference in their retirement years to share their talents and time serving the community.   The group of 22 women and a few men have been together for nine years as they share their talents with nursing homes, the Christmas Box House and veteran centers to name a few. 

Rebecca invited her LDS ward's Young Women and Relief Society sisters to the joint event.   Rubbing shoulders as they worked together, these two groups also made new friends while sewing, singing and souping together. 

The Three Bags Full Award goes to these ambitious saints for doing the right thing.
