Christmas-At-Sea
One of All Saints' outreach ministries is The Christmas-At-Sea program of the Seamen’s Church Institute.
Their Ministry on the River program
brings hospitality and love to deep-sea and river mariners by
distributing gifts containing handmade scarves, caps, vests, helmets or
socks, as well as other useful items.
Participation guidelines:
Patterns are available for download at

click on “How you can help”
and then on “Christmas-At-Sea
Yarn must be machine washable, 4 ply, except socks which are 3 ply
sport.
Most mariners are men so choose colors which are more appropriate for
men.
Once a year All Saints' parishioners help pack boxes with home-made
cookies and the knitted and crocheted items which we work on year round as part of the
Christmas on the River program.
