Missions

Knitting Ministries
There is a constant prayerful knitting going on as we have “Prayer Shawls” for those who are ill and going through a time of healing.   We are also constantly knitting “Pocket Prayer Shawls” for our men and women in the military.

Craft Group
Our crafters are at work throughout the year making many wonderful things that can be purchased and at the same time help our church meet its financial responsibilities.   Hand made baby sweaters and hats, as well as hats and mittens with sports logos on them and many other hand-made items.

We sponsor and participate in the Red Cross Blood drive twice a year.  This allows the Red Cross to use our facility and some of our members contribute some of their time to assist in the registration duties.
