A simple running stitch

Guest speaker Nell Newton's sermon delivered on November 27, 2011. Years ago the lamplight would shine on a woman's needle as she sewed a new dress or mended a worn sleeve. Now she might never know whose hands threaded up a needle and pulled together the pieces of cloth to make her clothes. Or, she might be the unseen hands who must make every seam perfect if she wants to be paid. In this season of thankfulness, we'll take time to reflect on missing buttons, three-cornered tears, safety pins, and sewing.
