In Episode 56 Rev. Amy Vittorio and Terri Everhart from the 5 Points Parish in the West Plains District share about a loom ministry that creates sleeping mats out of plastic bags to be used by those who are unhoused – a project anyone can do.

“It’s brought people together and given us a renewed sense of mission,” Vittorio shared.

“It has built an energy with us and with others because they see the positivity of here is something we can do and we’remaking an impact,” Everhart said.

“Looms become a way for relationships in your church and relationships out in your community,” offered Rev. Kathy Dickriede, Missions & Community Engagement director in the EOC Connectional Ministries office.

The 5 Point Parish is Tiffin Faith, Tiffin St. Paul’s, Sycamore, Republic Trinity, and Melmore UMCs.
