Busam Buddies

Busam Buddies is a group of people who trace the hands of members of Christ Church and produce the small blankets to be distributed by either the pastor or a fellow member.

Busam Buddies began in 2004 as an extension of the Prayer Chain Ministry of Christ Church.  The official name of the project is "Project Praying Hands in Loving Memory of David Busam".  David was a young husband and father and member of Christ Church.  He had a serious lung disease and was the inspiration for this project, which was to provide a symbolic laying on of hands to those in need of healing and prayer. Unfortunately, David died before he received a blanket so the first one was given to his wife and children.  Distribution of blankets was begun in early 2005 and to this date 82 blankets have been given to members and friends of Christ Church. The feedback from those who receive the blankets is positive and inspirational.  The ministry has expanded and includes giving blankets to infants during the Baptism service, and former pastors of Christ Church to symbolize continuing prayers of the congregation.

If you would like to participate in this project, watch for scheduled days for the following:  tracing your hand on fabric in the Narthex or Sunday School, attending a work day where the hands and fabric are cut and prepared for sewing, or sewing hands on to the blanket. Watch the church bulletin for work days. For more information, call Bonnie Hitch at 859-441-4423.
