Guided by Love, this hat was knit for you.
Filled with healing, strength and peace, to bless upon your spirit true.
I hope you feel the warmth and love
Intertwined in every stitch,
Prayers said to God above,
Please heal, mend and enrich.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future……”
Jeremiah 29: 11 (NIV)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit are encoded throughout the 3x1 ribbing. Triune blessings are knit within of best wishes from us all.

Thank you for all you do for us, your church, and for continuing to preach the whole counsel of God and for your endurance as our spiritual leader.
Love in Christ,
Kerrie Brown
