Christmas at Sea

Knitted caps, scarves and vests are created and donated to the Christmas at Sea project.  These are part of a ministry known as the Seaman's Church Institute.  This organization provides these knitted goods to those who serve on commercial sea-going ships and river barges, and who work in these environments long stretches of time in all weathers.

"Almighty Father, strong to save, whose arm hath bound the restless wave, who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea."

Words by William Whiting
(1825-1878)
