Ministry Of Warmth
Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes
The Crochet and Knitting Ministry lovingly hand-makes items to be included in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes each year. From soft hats and scarves to cozy little toys, each stitch is a prayer and a gift of love, ensuring that children around the world not only receive a tangible reminder of God’s care but also something practical to warm and comfort them. 
Every handmade piece helps transform an ordinary shoebox into an extraordinary blessing.
Missionaries in Need
This ministry also dedicates time to creating handcrafted items for missionaries serving across the globe. 
These items are designed to provide comfort and encouragement—whether it’s blankets to share with those in need, baby clothes for growing families, or small gifts to help missionaries build connections in the communities they serve. Through their hands and hearts, these crafters extend the reach of the Gospel by offering both practical support and visible reminders of Christ’s love.
Helping Local Projects
Closer to home, the ministry faithfully serves local projects and needs within the community. From donating warm hats and blankets to shelters, to providing handmade gifts for families in crisis, their work reminds neighbors that they are seen, valued, and loved. 
These creations become more than just yarn and fabric—they are tools of hope, compassion, and community care, woven together with purpose and prayer.
