Women at Fourth invite you to join us for our March Gathering, celebrating National Reading Month and International Women’s Month with a special book swap! Join us in person on Thursday, March 23, from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm. To participate, please bring one – 10 books to trade. Although books by and about women will be highlighted, please feel free to bring any book. We’ll provide light snacks and soft drinks, but also, feel free to bring a bottle of wine to share. In addition to the book swap and the opportunity to meet in fellowship, we also have a fun Springtime activity planned, so we hope to see you there. Registration is required.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is an initiative of the Caring Ministries Team and the Knitting and Crocheting Group, combining the love of knitting and crocheting with a way to reach out to those in need of comfort and solace: providing them with a tangible expression of care in the form of a handcrafted shawl or lap blanket.

To learn more about this ministry opportunity, contact Simon Crow.
