ADULTS | ART MINISTRIES
Prayer Shawl Ministry 
Each Wednesday evening, people get together to knit, crochet or loom shawls for persons who are going through difficult times. But you may be part of this heartfelt ministry by making shawls at home or on your lunch hour. Each handmade shawl represents hours of prayer and wraps the recipients in the warmth of the church’s loving embrace. Knitting, crocheting and looming instruction is available upon request and yarn is provided. This ministry is also appropriate for youth.
Knitting for Noggins
  Children’s Hospital in Little Rock has a goal of giving a handmade symbol of encouragement (a hat) to each and every patient. The smaller hats often help maintain the body temperatures of premature babies, but patients of all sizes appreciate knowing that someone cared enough to make them something soft and colorful. Join us by knitting, crocheting, sewing or looming hats for Children’s Hospital.
Prayer Pals
This new sewing ministry of youth and adults creates stuffed creatures out of socks or other fabrics that are then blessed in prayer and given to children or others who might benefit from an uplifting and fun gift of love. If you would like to learn basic sewing skills so that you can participate in this ministry, please contact Kelley McDonald at the church office.
Sew 'n Sew  
The Sew 'n Sew group of youth and adults gathers together for two days per month to sew school bags for UMCOR that are distributed around the world to children who need assistance with school supplies. There is a job for everyone who is interested in participating. No sewing skills required to begin, but you will likely leave with a few after spending time with these helpful sewers! You may also sew bags at home if you are unable to meet at their scheduled time or would just like to participate more often.
