OZARK-A four-year old outreach ministry at First Ozark United Methodist Church that provides an evening gown boutique experience for area young women is ready for this year’s prom season in
“This Blessed Dress” boutique, under the direction of First Ozark UMC volunteers Melissa Perault and Pamela Claire Fenn, provides evening wear and accessories free of charge to anyone who can benefit. All it takes is a phone call to the First Ozark UMC Family Life Center at 774-0990 to set up an appointment. So far this year, 30 young women have found the gown of their choice at the “This Blessed Dress” boutique.
Church member Carol Stuart Adams is “our volunteer seamstress,” said Perault. “If we have a dress that needs altering, I just text her and she is always so generous with her time to come here and help.” Perault agreed. “The focus may initially be a dress, but our mission is for each young woman to know that they are loved, that God loves them, that they are beautiful, and that they are worthy.”
The former Hagler Heating and Cooling Building that the church purchased to be restructured as the Kingsley Christian Learning Center was the first home of the gowns. When construction began on the learning center, the gowns were relocated to the third floor of the church. “Pamela Claire really wanted to create a boutique experience here so that’s what we worked towards,” Perault said.
