CREATOR'S HANDS NEWSLETTER

Creator’s Hands is dedicated to letting our light shine for Jesus as we use our God given crafting skills to knit, crochet, quilt to make handcrafted items, such as blankets, baby items, prayer shawls, etc for the purpose of fulfilling the needs of the community. We are dedicated toward making crafted items to give to others as an expression of God’s love! We hope that you can join us at our next meeting. 

We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 6:30-9:00 pm.

God, My Shepherd. “I bless Your name and praise You as my Shepherd who restores my soul and guides me in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake”. (Ps.23:1-3)


Creator Hands Updates:

Some ladies in the group had the privilege of delivering the security and receiving blankets to the hospital. The nurses were very thankful and appreciate ANYTHING that we give to them. They said they have mothers who are in need and can use whatever we make.
