Knitting Ministry
Knitting Ministry offers physical warmth along with prayer support and compassion to all in need. The ministry began in 2002 as a Prayer Shawl Ministry with Joan Johnson as leader. Since 2010 we have expanded to making hats, scarves and mittens. Winter gear is donated to several schools and charities in the Bloomington area and one rural school. Information about the need at this school was expressed to Judy Nielson and we were privileged to help. Many of these children ride the school bus for over an hour each way to school in northern Minnesota and live in a very limited income area.
Prayer shawls are given to those suffering in any way, be it loss, illness, or bereavement. Many emotional and grateful notes are sent for the physical warmth and comfort provided as well as the spiritual comfort of prayer knit and crocheted into each item. No experience is necessary. Come, learn, and enjoy giving to others.
