FCC Hanson is proud to partner with Seafarers’ Friend, a ministry that cares for the men and women working on cargo ships who spend months away from home. When their ships come into port, volunteers bring friendship, prayer, and small gifts to remind them they are seen and valued.
This partnership reflects our church’s commitment to serving others and sharing God’s love in meaningful ways. We are grateful to be part of a ministry that brings hope, encouragement, and care to those who travel the seas and serve the global community.
One way we are helping is by knitting 50 hats and scarves and sewing 50 ditty bags to be given to seafarers during the colder months as they come in to port. These handmade items provide warmth and share a simple message of Christian love and care.
If you knit, crochet or sew and would like to help, we invite you to join us in this meaningful hands-on mission.
The hats, scarves and bags are due on June 1, 2026 and can be given to Cheri Wicks each Sunday at church once you have completed them.
Please email Cheri Wicks for more information at creativewisdom59@gmail.com
Patterns for the hats, scarves and bags can be obtained from Cheri Wicks and are also available to download below.
