Women on a Mission of the First Baptist Church held their annual White Cross Tea on March 7.
The event was open to the pubic and attendees were served several flavors of tea and assorted pastries.
The tables were beautifully set with small pots of Spring flowers, colorful china teacups and vintage teapots. The pastry buffet was laden with cookies, scones, bread pudding, tea cakes and cupcakes.
Following the tea, the ladies attended a White Cross workshop to make dresses from pillow cases for little girls and hygiene pads for older girls in Africa.
Stations were set up in Fellowship Hall for cutting, ironing, assembling and sewing.
The attendees chose their stations and set about the tasks at hand.
There were 25 ladies from Sullivan and area churches working at four portable sewing machines and ironing boards, while others cut the pillow cases and assembled them into sun dresses.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
