Such concentration!
Along with prayer shawls that are knitted all over and are blest in prayer at St. Marks United Reformed Church and given out locally we would like to commend to you keen knitters out there something of an annual occurance which will help support vulnerable older people in the UK through the winter. Innocent (smoothies) and Sainsbury's supermarket team up to encourage people to knit little hats for the Innocent smoothie bottles. They will donate 50p per hatted bottle sold to Age Concern. Last year this raised £200k!

http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/thebigknit/The Revd Dr Kirsty Thorpe now has a prayer shawl knitted in Heald Green URC, blest by St. Marks URC and shared with her for her new ministry at Wilmslow URC! This is a growing trend in our North Western Synod with at least 5 different churches beginning prayer shawl knitting groups and ministries this year! It may have helped that we actually knitted and prayed together at this years ministers summer school in Durham too!
