The ladies are inviting anyone to participate in our Red Heart yarn project. We will collect 8 ounce skeins of 4-ply red heart yarn, any color or money to purchase yarn. Checks should be payable to Chestnut Ridge Church with a memo to CRMW yarn project. A basket for the yarn is in the foyer by the Pastor's office. Clients of the Stark County Regional Correction Center are taught to crochet, a skill that enables them to make things for others, a positive use of their time during court-ordered community service.
