New! Hands for Outreach Ministry at St. Matthew's
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is being Rebranded to "Hands for Outreach"
The PSM is being rebranded to "Hands for Outreach." We are going to be concentrating on outreach to the homeless. We will be making mats out of plarn, which is "yarn" made out of plastic bags, like the ones from Publix or Walmart. This "yarn" is easy to make out of the bags and we will be glad to teach anyone who would want to help us by making balls of the yarn for us. Once created, this yarn is suitable for knitting or crocheting with large-diameter needles and hooks, or can be finger-crocheted.
Additionally, we will be using traditional acrylic yarn (for washability and durability) to make hats, mittens and fingerless gloves to be also donated to the homeless. These can be knitted, crocheted or loomed. We are glad to teach anyone who wishes to join in this Ministry.
Please contact Kim Margittai (kmargittai@hotmail.com) or Barbara Counts (barbruns31@gmail.com) for more information.
