Magdalene is the Comfort Dog of the Cornerstone Lutheran Church.

We have been making scarves that attach to her collar for the six days a week she is working to comfort in our community and elsewhere.

Please pick up a kit at the monthly meeting or make one (or several) on your own. Instructions are on our website under “Patterns” and printed copies are available with the kits. Please note, the pattern was updated when Magdalene turned two years old.
