Dorcas Quilts

Dorcas, also known as Tabitha, was known for her good works and acts of charity. She was a generous person who, as an early follower of Jesus Christ, did a lot of sewing, making garments for others and giving them to the poor and needy. Dorcas therefore is our example and we seek to do the same work as she did so many years ago. Acts 9 v 36-42

January 2021 Newsletter
After the ‘bumper’ year of 2019 when we were able to send over 200 quilts I was hoping for another year of the same! However when Covid19 began to spread and travel became restricted I was not expecting to be sending any quilts abroad. Miraculously and I believe with God’s help 2020 hasn’t been such a bad year for us.

"Thank you for all your efforts and I can assure you that the quilts will brighten up the lives of the children who see them and encourage the staff by knowing that there is a group of ladies in Chichester who are thinking of them!"
