CLASSES & PROGRAMS
GET REAL
Mission Statement – A safe place to share our struggles, hurts and hopes, finding God’s healing in every season.
Get Real is a faith-based recovery group. We use the NIV Recovery Devotional Bible to find Biblical ways to heal and progress through our struggles and hurts. There are sharing guidelines read before the group begins to individually share. Sharing is not required. At times, I have learned from just listening. I am not a counselor but have worked through a life filled with struggles and hurts and continue to find hope through my Savior Jesus and desire to share how he has healed me and will continue for the rest of my life. The Lord desires for us to walk with a likeminded community in trusting God to be with us in all situations.

Sewing 101
This class teaches the correct way to use a sewing machine. It also teaches how to do basic clothing repairs (fixing a torn seam, putting in a hem, and replacing buttons). The intent is for the women to be able to repair their clothing so it lasts longer, and their funds can be spent on other things.
The class is taught with donated fabric. There is a check list of steps to be completed in class, which the participant keeps as proof of new skills. The “graduate” of this class receives a stocked sewing kit so they can do some of this work at home. Their names are then posted, making them eligible to come use our sewing machines whenever the sewing room is open.
Advanced Sewing
This class teaches more advanced skills like gathering, putting in a zipper, etc. This is done by completing a simple project (kitchen towels, cosmetic bags, heating pads, potholders, and bowl cozies to name a few), which the participant keeps. This class is taught using donated or inexpensive materials. Many times, the ladies have come back to make more of these items to sell or to give as gifts. This gives the women a sense of accomplishment in addition to the usefulness of the made item. Women who return to do more projects can earn a sewing machine to take home. We do this to encourage the ladies to become more self-sufficient. The donated machines are from a stock of machines that have been donated to us.
Sewing by Request
Women can ask for a one-on-one class at any time. This often is because they want help either making or repairing something specific. We then find a mutually available time slot to meet in the sewing room. The women are also free to request a specific project for the Advanced Sewing class.
