Yarn donations

Church Friends...we are seeking donations of YARN for a special ministry with the Kane Center Knitters and the Sea Branch Rehabilitation Center...

We were gifted a starter donation of yarn and in turn, the Kane Center Knitters donated 10 beautiful lap blankets for us to gift to the Sea Branch Rehabilitation Center when we visit next Wednesday afternoon for our WOW Cocoa and Carols event.

We are seeking to donate yarn BACK to the Kane Center Knitters to to replace the yarn they used and more. We hope to continue this ministry and provide more lap blankets to the Sea Branch Rehabilitation Center soon.

If you are interested in knitting a lap blanket at home for patients at Sea Branch you may do so, or if you are interested in joining the ladies at the Kane Center Knitters, they meet every Wednesday from 1-3 pm at the Kane Center on Salerno Road.

There are about 90-100 residents at Sea Branch and we would like to provide lap blankets for any resident in need.

Please bring your YARN donations to the church office.
