New Prayer Blanket and Shawl Service Group

CCC's Caring Hearts & Hands ministry invites you to join our new service small group to make prayer blankets and shawls, as well as, enjoy fellowship with others.   The blankets and shawls are a tangible symbol of our church family's prayer and love during times of loss, crisis, illness, surgery, chemo, loneliness and more.  They enfold the recipient in our Lord's embrace and let them know they are not alone.  While creating the blanket or shawl the crafter prays for the recipient, asking the Lord to hold them close to His heart, and to bring peace, comfort, strength and courage.  The blankets and shawls can be sewn, quilted, knitted, crocheted and made in any pattern, color or fabric you choose.  They can even be made as simply as knotting together pieces of fleece.  Donations of fleece, fabric and yarn are always appreciated.  The group meets the first and third Wednesday nights of each month from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. in Room 210 at the Yellow Box.  To find out more about this serving and fellowshipping opportunity please call group leader, Denise Allen, at 630-278-9707 or email dalae@allstate.com.
