Prayer Shawl

What are Prayer Shawls?

Care and love of knitting (and crochet) have been combined into a wonderful ministry that reaches those in need of comfort and solace. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl with prayers for the ultimate recipient. Intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl and upon completion, each prayer shawl is offered a blessing by our pastor before making its way to a new owner.

Many who have received a prayer shawl in their time of need, have either passed it along to another, or have made a prayer shawl to donate for another. Thus, the blessing is rippled from person to person, with both the giver and receiver benefitting from God's love and mercy.

Would you like to help? Do you enjoy knitting or crocheting? We're looking for individuals with these skills to create prayer shawls, which are then offered to bring comfort to those in need. This is a wonderful way to serve while helping others.
