You do not need to belong to this circle to contribute to their care-giving ministries. When you have finished one of these projects just give it to Kathleen Horak, any member of 3-H PM or take it to the Stephen Ministry Room between 6:30 & 8:30 PM on the Thursday following the second Wednesday of each month. Blankets for Miller House can be knit or crocheted in yarn of your choice.

Prayer Links: When you are making a prayer shawl, prayer square, or other item, you can use some of the yarn for a prayer link. A link can be sent to family members of those who receive a prayer shawl or prayer square so they can also be in prayer for the person. Also, you can make one to keep for yourself - especially if you know the person receiving the shawl. Links can be made with K3, turn, K3 for 10 rows, binding off so the link is in a rectangle shape. |
