YARN MINISTRY

The Yarn Ministry group has started a new project. We are now making knitted or crocheted hats, scarves, and headbands to send to the Pine Ridge Reservation. In 2024 we sent a total of 143 hats, 44 scarves, and 8 headbands to them. We have been sending children's sizes, but welcome any size.

We continue to knit or crochet our Prayer Shawls and lap robes that are blessed and given to any folks in need of one. We invite any one in our community who would like to knit or crochet any of the above items or would like more information, please call or text Cheryl W. at 605-673-1334 or stop by and join us in the Fireside Room at OSLC on Monday afternoons from 1-3 pm.

If you're worshipping with us on-line, we'd like to extend to you an invitation to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion with us during our live-stream. Here's How:

Before the service, simply prepare elements for communion to have ready...perhaps some bread from the pantry, or some crackers, as well as a small amount of wine or grape juice poured into individual small glasses or cups. Have these set aside for when the service begins. When the words of institution are proclaimed over the bread and wine on the altar, know that those words and the promise they bear ("given and shed FOR YOU") are proclaimed and prayed over the elements in your home. If you are worshipping alone in your home, commune yourself with us. If there are two or more of you gathered in front of the screen, commune each other with the same words:"The body of Christ, given for you. The blood of Christ, shed for you." If there are young children with you, mark the sign of the cross on their foreheads and remind them that Jesus loves them and forgives them all of their sins. As you share the meal, be assured that you're sharing it with all of those physically gathered, as well as with others gathering with you on-line. We pray this opportunity will be a strength and comfort to you, as you receive Jesus' presence through the sacrament.
