Warm Spirits
Warm Spirits is a ministry that meets monthly in the fall, winter and spring to knit and crochet and prepare finished items to be given away. Currently, we create hats and scarves for the homeless and for missions and prayer shawls for the ill and aged. We gratefully accept donations of yarn for our projects and we also are willing to teach new people interested in participating in this ministry how to knit or crochet.
