Prayer Shawl Ministry

MILL HALL -- The Prayer Shawl Ministry needleworkers will be entering some of their beautifully crafted items into the Clinton County Fair. Be sure to stop by and see our work. We're hoping to win a few ribbons and prize money that can be used towards the purchase of more yarn. Last year we had seven ladies who entered items, and this year we're expecting more entries.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at noon, at the Bald Eagle United Presbyterian Church, 111 Main St., Mill Hall. A light lunch is always provided for those who attend the meeting.

Anyone who would like to learn to crochet or knit is invited to join us for our meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at noon and our skilled needleworkers will be glad to coach and encourage you in your learning process. If you already know how to work with yarn and want to become a needleworker with us, come to our next meeting.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry relies on monetary donations as well as yarn donations. Whether it be new skeins of yarn or partially used skeins, we can use it as long as it is clean and smoke-free. Yarn donations can be left under the ramp at the rear of the building or by calling Pastor Susan at the church office at 570-726-4112.
