Blog posts are written by Amy Rich and sometimes John Rich. We are Patchwork Central’s Co-Directors.

We returned to Evansville in 2008 to serve as directors, but we first came to know and love the Patchwork over 10 years ago when Amy served as a Mennonite Voluntary Service Worker in Patchwork’s children’s programs and John was an Americorps Vista Volunteer who worked for Patchwork’s Neighborhood Economic Development Center. Since that time, John went on to become an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Amy has continued her career as an artist, taught art in community settings, and earned a Master’s degree in art education.

This blog is an outgrowth of Patchwork Community Updates that we’ve been sending out to Patchwork worship community members, board members, volunteers, and other friends. It is a way to help everyone stay connected to the many large and small happenings that occur at Patchwork each day.
