It was hard to come up with a clear title for this event/field trip. It bears some explanation!

Come hear Patricia Niednagel (pronounced NEED-nah-gull) from Encounter Church in Ventura, currently serving with Global Training Network, share stories from her missionary trips and explain a wonderful way that knitters and crocheters can help her prepare for her next trip.

This is a great opportunity if you are interested in learning more about some of the challenges believers face in parts India, Africa, and South America, AND if you love to knit or crochet, or would like to learn, this is a fantastic way to use your skills to make simple cotton towels during your summer break!

What: missionary talk/ministry opportunity

Who: ACHEV students of all ages and parents (suggest 3rd or 4th grade and older for the crochet and knitting ministry opportunity)

Where: The Pineda’s home, located at 178 Furman Avenue in Ventura

When: 10:00-11:30am* Friday June 2 (* The talk/discussion will likely be done before 11am. Those who wish may stay the whole time to knit and crochet together or have a knitting or crochet lesson for those who are new to the craft.)

What to bring: I will have some supplies to share, but if you already knit or crochet, you are welcome to bring your own supplies of cotton yarn suitable for dish cloths, such as Sugar & Cream, and a crochet hook (size H, I or J) or knitting needles (US size 7 or 8). Patricia suggests bright colors.

What to expect: This is a casual, comfortable time to hear from a missionary and ask questions. We’ll start with hearing from Patricia, then for those who wish to also participate in the ministry opportunity, I will have samples of towels already completed to show you so you can get started on your own towels. If you need to learn to knit or crochet, please stay for a quick lesson to get you started.
