PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY Did you know that several ladies of this church have been making prayer shawls? So far, we have been able to give out 35 of these lovely comforters to people after operations, illness, or to those who are alone or grieving. If you knit or crochet, we would welcome your help.

The shawls are stored in a corner of the "back room" of the church office. Also there is a tall basket of yarn to use when needed. (If you happen to have some extra yarn, we would be glad to have you donate it there.) If you knit or crochet, instruction books are also there if you want to work at home. In any case, you can contact Barb in the office or Jayne Kidder at 330.494.4084. Blessings, Jayne

Tuesday Morning Bible Study will not meet again until Tuesday, March 6.
