Order now!
Order now! Need a special gift for a college student or sports fan? How about a pair of hand-knit, custom-made slipper/dorm socks in their college colors? Or maybe some Christmas socks for that hard-to-buy-for person on your list? Nancy Lingerfelt is taking orders now with all proceeds going to our annual church bazaar, which benefits local missions. The cost is $20 if you need specific colors of yarn, or only $15 if Nancy has yarn on hand that will work. Nancy can also make regular socks (knit with very fine yarn to be worn with shoes) and baby socks. Just call her at 423-623-9615 any evening, and let her know what size you need. Look for Nancy’s knit boot toppers at the bazaar. Click below to learn more about how we serve God and our brothers and sisters in need.
