On Sunday, May 4, the Thelma Wynne Project Baby Shower will be held in the Parish Hall in conjunction with the PWRDF soup lunch. Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate.
What is the Thelma Wynne Project?
The Thelma Wynne Project has been in existence for more than fifty years and was spearheaded by Thelma Wynne, a woman with keen sense of mission, and a former parishioner of St. Paul's. Today, many women from the Anglican and other faith communities are engaged with this mission housed at St. Matthews Church. The purpose of the project is to collect and prepare layettes for new born babies. The layettes are then given to various social agencies in the city for distribution to new mothers in need.
During the months of April and May, many churches collect and deliver baby items to support this project. Baby items will be sorted and delivered to the Thelma Wynne Project room at St. Matthews.
Suggested items on the " wish list"
sizes newborn to 12 months are: vests, sleepers, heavy and light, baby outfits - summer or winter, knitted baby sweater and bonnets, socks, booties and slippers, crib blankets, crib quilts, receiving blankets, disposable and cloth diapers and changing pads, bibs, baby soap, face cloths, soft baby toys or teething toys and small toiletries for the mother.
Our committee will look after "early bird" monetary donations and ones made after the shower. Please make cheques payable to the Diocese of Rupert's Land ear-marked for the Thelma Wynne Project. Look for more information during the month of April.
A Mothers Day Tea is being organized for Saturday May 10 from 2pm to 4pm in the Church Hall.
Tickets are available for $20 and available through the officeIn addition there will be a small raffle, book table and hopefully a plant table!
