◆ CRAFT & DIALOGUE 
 Please apply at the Lunch-time Lecture Meeting each month.   We enjoy conversation over tea and refreshments, while creating various objects. Our leaders are experts who help the beginners kindly. 
 Last year we made gifts of “wishing for recovery” and send them to the Himawari Children’s workshop in Kesenuma, an area hit by the disasters. We made 38 sheets of calendar with our message of support and prayer. Ms. ITOH Junko, the leader, gladly distributed them to the children.  
 Ａｌｓｏ，we jointly made a pair of table mats and gave them to our  friends from the Philippines, as our “thank you and good-bye” gift when they returned home.
