This week (14th June) we are hosting the Knitted Bible Exhibition which has 36 different Bible scenes created by St George’s United Reformed church in Hartlepool. Our people have been busy knitting bunting (so many flags) and animals which were hidden around the town. There are quiet corners where you can try French knitting, knitting, there is some sheep’s wool to pull into threads, there’s a quiz and colouring pages. There is also a prayer tree.
The stars of the show though, are the knitted exhibits, the 36 scenes cover the Old Testament and the Gospels, we all have our favourites, mine if a fierce looking Goliath. You can count the sheep, the fish and loaves, check out the stripes on Joseph’s coat, the guests at the wedding in Canaan and the man being lowered through the roof.
There is no charge, but any donations will be split between the Disasters’ Emergency Committee and our church’s local charities Jubilee Foodbank, Bower House and The Cube. Refreshments are available.
These are the dates when the church will be open to the public if you want to put it in your diary now.
