God Is A Knitter

Rev. Sara Wingo
Psalm 139:13-14
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
The Holy Eucharist was celebrated with The Rev. Sara Scott Wingo. Recalling her grandmother’s fine skill in knitting, Rev. Wingo compared our bond with God in the same manner. We are knit by God in joy and peace. ***************
