| Baby Clothes Swap Many families in the church have been blessed by impromptu baby clothing swaps, and these families are looking to pay it forward. If you are a family with little ones or you have littles in your extended family that would appreciate previously loved baby -toddler clothing, stop by Friends Center on November 15th from 2-4 pm to pickup some new to you baby and toddler clothes. This is a great opportunity to pass on clothes your little may have grown out of and grab something that may fit a little better. Whether you have something to pass on or not, we hope you will feel welcome to shop around. If you have clothes you would like to donate or would like more information on the event, you can contact Sara Elder by email or give her a call (503) 917-1312. |
