NORWAY — The Second Congregational Church, UCC, requests help in expanding its Mitten Mission.

For more than 50 years, dedicated members, and friends of the church have knit mittens and hats for children in the Oxford Hills school district to use on cold winter days, according to a news release from Kate Wood at the church.

This year, they request the community’s help in expanding this tradition. New, store-bought, clean, gently used, and hand-knit mittens and hats of all sizes are needed; they can be dropped off at the 205 Main St. church.

During December, mittens will decorate the Sanctuary-Mable Brown Christmas tree. Then in early January, mittens and hats will be delivered to the local elementary schools.

For more information, call the church office at 207-743-2290.
