Grateful Threads, a lively knitting/crocheting multi-generational group, open to all, came into being at Jeffersontown Christian Church. The enthusiasm of the group, the avidness and eagerness in trying new techniques and the unconditional support given to each other make this a viable, learning, not-to-be-missed Thursday morning experience.

This event is being held during National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
