To request support, there is a box in the center’s entryway with paper request slips to fill out and drop in. Or send an email to the above address. Please include your name, contact information, whether you’d like a prayer shawl, and what you need help with.
To volunteer with the team, fill out the volunteer form (Helping Hand Support Form) and return by email, or for a physical copy talk to Carrie.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the first Monday of every month from 1:00 – 3:00 at the home of Caroline Fenn to knit and crochet shawls to share with congregants in need. Instructions on how to knit or crochet are included as part of this special service to our CSL community! The ministry is taking a break for June, July, and August!
If you are a knitter or crocheter, we welcome you. If you want to learn knitting or crocheting, now is the time. Instruction with yarn and needles is provided. All who are interested are welcome!
Prayer shawls are available by request from CSL attendees for gifting to friends, family, and our CSL community as a source of spiritual support when needed.
