Hats warm newborns

A team of knitters has been busy making baby hats to be given to newborns in Uganda, Peru, and elsewhere. In developing countries, babies are often of low birth weight and hats help to keep them warm. Nearly 80 hats have been completed and have been on display in the sanctuary of Tehachapi Community Congregational Church for the last few weeks.

All those hats were knitted by a small group of members and friends including Catherine Smirnoff, Carol Kemmerer, Carolyn Scott, Dalton Steele Reed, Claudia White and Jan Combs. They enjoyed the knitting knowing how much joy and comfort they would bring to babies and mothers.

Pastor of the church, Nancy Bacon, will be attending a Global Ministries Visioning Retreat and will deliver the hats at that time. She will bring back other ideas for the church to pursue in their global outreach.
