The purpose of the Blankets for Babies Outreach is to supply blankets to different agencies that are involved with babies. Some of these are Children & Youth, Your Safe Haven, Neighborhood Center (Harrisburg), Precious Life, new mothers in our congregation and , the church nursery and toddler rooms. We have also made shirt savors for adult day service. Where we have a need, we try to meet it. If you want to learn how to knit, crochet, or quilt we will teach you the craft.

This small group ministry began in 1996. The original purpose was to create blankets for displaced children, i.e. through Children and Youth Services. This goal mushroomed into including Neighborhood Center, Your Safe Haven, Precious Life, as well as presenting a coverlet to each new baby within the church.

Blankets can be quilted, knotted, knitted, or crocheted. Myriad materials and cash were donated and were instrumental in getting this ministry started. Many helpers have been involved and we would welcome anyone interested in joining us.

Blankets for Babies meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month at the Church for great fellowship as well as creating the blankets. Much of the work through is done at home. Anyone interested in being part of this ministry may contact Jan at the church office 623-8711 ext. 21.
