WANTED: PEOPLE WHO CAN KNIT AND CROCHET
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry is off and running. There will be an organizational meeting Thursday, February 9 at 6:30pm in the auditorium. Anyone and everyone is invited to attend---families, men, women and children. We can make the ministry whatever we decide. We can gather weekly, or periodically, for social gatherings, sharing of ideas, work at home or as a group. If this sounds like a ministry you would like to be a part of please come to our meeting. Not only are we looking for people to knit, crochet, quilt, or cut and knot polar fleece, we may be in need of financial donations to assist in purchasing needed supplies . The shawls will go to parishioners as a outward sign of our caring parish.
To ALL who helped take down our Christmas decorations. It was a daunting task, but as usual our parishioners came through at very short notice to complete it. May God Bless you!
