Knit or Crochet Hats for Seafarers International House: Are you looking for a knit or crochet project that will touch the lives of a seafarer or immigrant? Here is a tangible way to show Christ’s love to someone. Seafarers International House (SIH) is the Lutheran response to the urgent needs of vulnerable seafarers and immigrants. This is the year of SIH’s 150th anniversary, celebrating fifteen decades of uninterrupted services to over 2 million seafarers and immigrants in New York City and beyond! SIH is not a place, but rather a service to people on the way. Learn more here. Chaplain Ruth Setaro at SIH when emailed about the need for knitted hats, wrote: “YES, YES, YES we love to get knitted hats. I actually give them out all year as even in the summer it can get cold out on the sea.” Use a pattern from their SIH website or a favorite pattern such as the 1898 Hat. Use any yarn or color (but preferrably not pink). Wendy Manganiello will collect the finished hats periodically and mail them to SIH. Contact Wendy or the church office if you have any questions.
