Caring and Sharing
Join us on the third Thursday of the month at 11:30 am as we meet at various restaurants in Pensacola. Our focus is supporting and helping children, especially those who are newly placed in the local Methodist Children's system. We conduct "poundings" to collect items such as pajamas and diapers for the children, as they frequently come to foster parents with no belongings. We are a group of women willing to do what is needed to "get it done."

Prayer Shawl Ministry
Join the Prayer Shawl Ministry Tuesdays at 10:00 am in the Consulate. The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a group whose focus is prayerful knitting and crocheting. Our purpose is to encourage others during hard times. Prayer shawls are presented to anyone who needs assurance of God's love and comfort in their lives. We also present baby blankets to our newest members, which are delivered to parents along with a casserole. Prayer Squares are given to any church group who is traveling. We make Fiddle Sleeves for persons with dementia or Alzheimer's, as well as lap robes, chemo caps, and baby caps for Ascension Sacred Heart. We provide shawls and scarves to FUMC high school graduates and for those at Serve the Hungry at Christmas. We make Knitted Knockers for women who do not have breast reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer.
