WAYS TO SERVE

JAIL PROJECT

Travis County Correctional Complex

 

For a number of years members of Church Women United in Austin have led incarcerated women in the three celebrations, World Day of Prayer in March, Friendship Day in May, Human Rights Day in October and World Community Day in November, at the correctional complex in Del Valle. 


The services are modified to fit into an hour program and are adapted to include small group Bible study by the participants.  More familiar hymns are used.  Hymn singing is a favorite part of the afternoon, both before and after the service. 


We are looking for a new coordinator for this project.  If you would like to serve, contact President B.J. Johnson.  512-447-3682




Community Service:


CWU maintains the Lucille Mayberry Memorial Sewing Rooms, initiated in 1948, which continues today with dedicated volunteers; each year we donate lap robes, pads, and quilts/comforters for adults and babies through local charities.

Volunteers are welcome.

The Sewing circle meets at  Tarrytown United Methodist Church, 2601 Exposition Blvd.

Thursdays, 9-11 a.m.   Contact Coordinator Peggy Maxwell, (512) 338-0408

Volunteers also sew at other locations in churches.
