A women’s mission group that meets at First Baptist Church in Statesboro uses thread in some fashion to sew, knit or crochet and, according to facilitator Debbie Martin, “We’ve almost wrapped the globe.” Members of the group, adequately named Caring Threads, hand-make various items at home to distribute to others and then meet weekly to pack boxes to deliver locally or mail all over the world. Local nursing homes and tornado victims in north Georgia receive sewn comfort pillows and blankets.
