The recent Gumeracha Uniting Church “Beanie–Knit-a-thon” was a tremendous success with 87 beanies displayed in the church on June 3rd, when Pam Jones of Wesley Care, Adelaide, took the service. All the men and Pam wore a beanie each! The lady knitters each carried a beanie they had knitted to the front of the church where a special prayer of thanksgiving was said.

All the beanies were sent to Byron Place, Adelaide for the homeless men who call in there.Also, some smaller and more colourful beanies were sent to StreetLink – a centre for usually younger men and women and often those with young children.The beanies will be gratefully worn by the men, women and children now that winter is here.
