Since September the Crochet Club has only met about 4 times. It was either too hot or too cold or rainy and messy out. Then it got so everyone was taking turns being sick and for the last six weeks it's been holiday mode taking center-stage. We did get together other the holidays for a Christmas party at one of our members homes. We had an awesome time together, which was nice since we haven't been actually meeting. I think we're now ready to get back to working.
We have many lap-sized afghans throughout church for our colder senior citizens as well as babies who get chilled beneath the many ceiling fans in our sanctuary. Odd as it seems when folks first walk in, we've had so many people tell us what a great idea it is! We keep them rolled up on the ends of the pews.

As I was putting them back in place after they'd been removed for a recent memorial service I told the pastor that we were getting ready to get crochet hats together for donation. He mentioned a church he used to be at that has a soup kitchen and often gives hats to homeless visitors. But, he said the lady who used to make them passed away. He is going to check if they could use our hats. How cool to be able to help another church's ministry like that! Being a country church we don't often get as many options as city churches do. I'm thrilled at this opportunity that God may open for us!
Since I've decided to not do craft shows or sell my hats online for a while I've already gather 43 hats to donate and I know the rest of the Crochet Club members have many hats to give too! We've just been waiting for the right time!
