Knitting Ministry
The Knitting Ministry will meet the third Monday of the month from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Quiet Room on the 4th floor.
The Knitting Ministry of First Church gathers together in a circle for a time of sacred knitting. We will be meeting on the third Monday evening of the month from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Quiet Room on the 4th floor. We're looking for people who like to knit or crochet. We will knit prayer/healing shawls for those who are sick or in need of comfort or other items for Service and Outreach service projects. We have some yarn to share but please bring size 13 knitting needles or a crochet hook. We will have patterns available to get you started on projects. Knitters and non-knitters interested in learning to knit are invited to attend. If you have any questions, contact Carol Lennig or Susan Izard. Together we have knit and prayed into hundreds of shawls that are given to people who are sick, grieving or in need of healing. The knitting is simple so knitters of all levels come together. The stories of the ministry, both from the knitters and those who have received a shawl, are continual witness to the transforming power of God's love and compassion. All are welcome.
