Since January, 2013 CUMC’s Prayer Shawl Ministry has distributed 103 items. Some of these were shawl donations to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, and some were “care” boxes given to people recovering in the hospital, but most were given to friends, neighbors, relatives and loved-ones who needed the warmth and comfort of our gifts because every single one was made with God’s love and all were prayed over. If you would like to join our group for knitting/crocheting lessons, coffee and conversation, we meet the second Monday of every month (except July and December) at 1:30pm in the Sunday School room. We always have a seat the the table for you!
