The Prayer Shawl Ministry gathered tonight at the church and checked and assembled 60 health kits. Yea! We are still in need of 28 finger nail clippers/or metal nail files, 16 toothbrushes and 16 combs to complete the additional kits. Can you help?
It is interesting that the Shawl Ministry first was a group of people that gathered together to just knit shawls. Now we knit in our homes and since that original year we have reached out to the Community as well with sewing and stuffing heart shaped cancer pillows for Mercy, knit preemie and cancer patient hats for MM, knit hats to deliver to the Preble St Center or Teen Center, May Baskets for shut ins and now assembling health kits. We do have fellowship and fun at these gatherings. We will be making May Baskets this year again at our Thursday meeting in April and we want to invite everyone to come and enjoy the fun making or stuffing them with goodies. Since May 1 falls on a Saturday this year, you might want to come to the April meeting and make one not only for shut ins but make one for your own Mom too and take on the task of delivering some on May 1. At home I make up 3 family baskets and deliver them to my grandchildren and a few for my neighbors. It's addictive.
Come join us on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7pm.
