Wallace Women craft love for the homebound

Over 50 Wallace Women came together for the annual Craft Night recently to make pieces of art to deliver to their homebound community.
“Wallace Women strive to actively serve both ladies in the walls of the church and those in the community,” Love Community Director Chelsea Murphy told The Focus. She spoke of the importance of maintaining ties with the elderly as they experience the challenges of the final season of their lives.
“Many of the homebound members from Wallace have been instrumental in serving and have been faithful leaders who have laid the foundation of launching Wallace Memorial Baptist Church over 70 years ago.”
The ladies gathered to paint rocks and canvas and even inspirational words to gift to the seniors as colorful encouragement and tokens of appreciation.
Through each of the visits and deliveries, Wallace Women seek to be a positive voice of truth and hope to those who can no longer do for themselves. In the midst of building relationships with their homebound members, Wallace Women embrace the opportunity to love, care, and serve as they minister to the shut-in members’ needs.
On delivery day, Chelsea told the team, “You never know who needs your visit. Your smile. Your encouragement. Your presence. Never underestimate what your visit means to one who is broken, sick and lagging behind.”
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.” Romans 15:5 NIV
