Knit Wits care

The Knit-Wits have been an active ministry at CtKing for almost 20 years. The creative work of our hands has brought comfort and connection to those experiencing life-altering events, while offering a sense of belonging to one another during the peaks and valleys of life.

When knitting our shawls, we often use a pattern that repeats every three stitches. This intentional design keeps us focused on the Trinity—God with us—as we work. Over the years, countless stories of blessing have graced both the recipients and the givers of these shawls.

It is often difficult to know what to say or do when a friend experiences a miscarriage, or when a relative or neighbor receives a difficult medical diagnosis. In those moments, a visit with a prayer shawl, or a card with a small prayer square tucked inside, can speak the words you don't have. For some, a shawl has even served as an end-of-life connection to a loving God, covering them in comfort during their final days. We have a selection of shawls displayed at the back of the church, and we invite you to take and share them.

Beyond Prayer Shawls

Our ministry has shared our talents in many other ways. We have crafted prayer squares, dishcloths, pocket hearts, hats for police officers, items for college care packages, and "Loving Bears." We also have knitted cotton bandages for developing nations and partner with local nonprofits like Prevent Suicide Fox Cities to bless others and build caring connections.
