Bring your oldest piece of knitting or crochet for Show and Tell

 

If you know of someone who needs the comfort of one of these beautifully hand made shawls, please contact the church office.

 Our first shawls were blessed on Mother's day, and  have already been delivered to people who needed to be wrapped in a mantle of love and prayer

Knitting has been around for centuries, lately it has been featured in quite a few magazines, as stars have been spotted with needles clicking. It is now considered a trendy past-time. For those of us who began knitting at our Grandma's knee it has always held appeal and we usually have more than one project on the go. Now we can use our love for this ancient craft to create a shawl wrapped in prayers to give to those who are in need of comfort.

"You created every part of me, knitting me in my Mother's womb.

Psalm 139:13

We welcome all ages and skill levels!
