St. Matthew’s SHINE Free Knit & Crochet Workshop March 22 1–3PM 12+

A hands-on Knit & Crochet Workshop for women and girls age 12+ is scheduled for Sunday, March 22, 2026 from 1:00–3:00 PM, according to an event notice that names a St. Matthew’s SHINE program as the organizer. The notice describes the session as an entry-level, community-focused session, and says only that “materials will be p” before the supplied text cuts off, so who provides yarn, hooks, or patterns remains unresolved.

The Instagram excerpt that announced the workshop repeats the age and date and identifies the host as the SHINE Women's Ministry Activities Team, stating verbatim, “Women and girls age 12+ are invited to a knitting and crochet workshop hosted by the SHINE Women's Ministry Activities Team on Sunday, March 22,”; that post is truncated in the supplied excerpt and does not include an address or registration details. The original event copy also names “St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church & School (SHINE knitting & crochet program)” as the host, creating a naming discrepancy with another St. Matthew’s that appears in available web material.

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Snellville, GA runs a recurring Knit, Crochet & Pray group and its site supplies concrete program details: “Everyone from beginners to experienced needlers are welcome at any time,” and “The group meets the first and third Thursdays of every month from 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.” That site also lists charitable output — “This group knits and crochets prayer shawls, prayer caps and other items for individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, or for those in need in other circumstances. The caps are given to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.” The Episcopal site adds practical support for newcomers: “Don't have yarn? No problem there's always plenty available to get started,” and includes the partial line, “The items are soaked in prayer…”, as printed on the page.

The Snellville Episcopal parish footer gives an explicit street address and contact numbers: St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, 1520 Oak Road, Snellville GA 30078, Phone: 770-979-4210, Fax: 770-979-4211. Those contact details are the only concrete phone number provided in the supplied materials; the original notice did not include a phone, email, or registration link for the March 22 workshop.

Because the supplied materials name both a St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church & School (with a SHINE knitting & crochet program) and a St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church (Snellville) with an active Knit, Crochet & Pray group, verification is required before confirming venue, denominational host, cost, and materials. Reporters and attendees should confirm which St. Matthew’s is running the March 22 session, whether the workshop is free as the title suggests, and whether supplies will be provided. Calling 770-979-4210 at the Snellville address can confirm whether the Episcopal parish is the workshop location; contacting the SHINE Women's Ministry Activities Team would confirm affiliation with any Lutheran host and complete the truncated materials line. Clarifying those facts will determine where to go, what to bring, and whether items created will join the groups’ prayer shawl and chemo-cap outreach.
