Knitting for Church! 

Alexandra Garfield who leads our Prayer Shawl Ministries and Rev.

Christine will be available at Stacey Street from 9-9:45am to follow-up with those who attended, provide an introduction to those who are interested, and offer knitting instruction to anyone interested to learn.  Please RSVP to Rev. Christine (revchristinehribar@gmail.com)
