Calling all willing hands! Knitters and crocheters, from our sisters & brothers in Boston, a chance to send blessings and love:
Marathoners from around the world come to the Church of the Finish Line - Old South Church in Boston - for an annual Blessing of the Athletes.
"In this year of Remembrance and Hope, our vision is to wrap each runner in the love poured into stitches of handmade blue and yellow scarves. We promise to wrap runners in your love until all your scarves are distributed. Suggested Guidelines Scarves should be interwoven with love and courage, measuring approximately 4"-6" wide and 60" long, any pattern. Colors: blue and yellow (Use the official Boston Athletic Association colors Pantone 109C and Pantone 294C as a guide.) "
You can read Old South's "one year later" plans here (link).
If this is one of your gifts, would you consider making a scarf or two? We will bless them in worship on Sunday, March 16th, and then ship them to arrive in Boston in time for the anniversary. Please pin/stitch contact information onto your creations. Questions? Please be in touch with Pastor Kerri
