What We Do

‘Strands of Love’ is part of Women’s Ministries at Venture Christian Church and Orchard Community Church. We are a group of women who knit or crochet items to be donated to those in need, in and around our community, across the country and around the world. We have made baby items for Heritage Home and Good Samaritan Hospital, and for individual families within the church, including those with newborn foster children. Some of our baby hats and blankets have gone on missions trips around the world! We have also donated afghans to InnVision, and made scarves for soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

There are many groups and organizations that can benefit from something that is just a hobby to many of us. Why not put your skills to “work” and come join us – we are all knit by God to be in His service!

Meeting Notes Jan 10th

I made an executive decision to make a concerted effort to use more of the donated yarn we've received in the last year. Specifically a major amount of forest green, grey and rose chunky yarn - we have a large tub of it! At our last meeting we decided it would be good for lap blankets and teen/adult hats. So yarn was handed out and assignments taken. If you weren't there and want to help with this, I'll have the bin of yarn at the next meeting. If you want to start before the 24th let me know and I'll get yarn to you. For the blankets, any pattern will do, but it should be approx. 36" x 36". For the hats, any pattern you want to do is fine - just make it teen or adult size per the pattern instructions.

Good news! The church office is printing our new brochure which will available to hand out at the table on Sundays. But since we do have other expenses from time to time (paper and shipping mostly) we decided to collect $1.00 from each attendee at every meeting, starting January 24th.
