Needles & Hooks

Praying, Knitting and Praying some more.

A few months ago, Linda Osgood began meeting with other CCer’s who knit.    Don’t mistake this as just another group of women getting together to knit.   This is a group with purpose.  The women pray over and specifically create one-of-a-kind shawls for people in need — inbound seniors, a new mommy, someone recovering from surgery, etc.

Linda shares, “The shawls are warm and comforting to those who receive them and it is our prayer that those who wear them will feel the comforting arms of our Lord around them in their time of need.  If you don’t knit, but would like to help by donating yarn or know of someone in need, please contact me at losgood10424@comcast.net.  Our group  meets the 1st and 3rd Wed from 10-12  in room 104 at  Connection Church.”

Nativity on the Square: The Musical

Hundreds came out over the weekend to celebrate Christmas with “Nativity on the Square: The Musical” at Connection.  It was a packed house both nights and our Creative Arts Ministry did an outstanding job.  From the  incredible set design (thank you – Frank Stevens!), Connection Band and vocalists, 60 person choir,  and of course the fantastic drama — it was a home run!

Rocky mentioned today that ODM was in the Detroit News on Friday.  In case you missed it, here is the article.    This year ODM reached a milestone, over a million pounds of food have been placed in the hands of those in need in our community.    Check out the pics below:
