"Knit Wits"
The “Knit Wits” Prayer Shawl Ministry Group at the Forty Fort United Methodist Church
They call themselves the “Knit Wits.” They are a group of women from teenagers to grandmothers who gather each week at the Forty Fort United Methodist Church to knit prayer shawls. As the women knit, they pray and they are also “knitted together” in service. The finished prayer shawls are blessed in a special service and given to people in need. The prayers and the shawls go a long way for people who are sick or elderly, providing warmth and the knowledge that someone cares. The shawls have to men and women, young and old, around the corner, across the country and as far as Europe.
For more information, call the Forty Fort United Methodist Church at 570-287-3840. The Forty Fort United Methodist Church is located at 26 Yeager Avenue, in Forty Fort. If you know someone who is interested in receiving a prayer shawl, you may visit the church Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to Noon, or Sunday evenings 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. |
