Prayer Shawl Ministry - 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, 7:00 p.m.
Do you like to crochet or knit? Sew or do needlework?
Everyone welcome! We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. We will make shawls, lap blankets, baby
blankets, etc for those in need. Care and the love of
knitting (and crochet) have been combined into a
prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of
comfort and solace. Many blessings are knitted into
every shawl. The knitter begins each shawl with prayers
for the recipient. Intentions
are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. When
the shawl is completed it is offered a final ritual
before being sent along its way.
Those
seeking company to do their needlework are invited to join
us. We take donations of yarn also. For those who want
to learn, Madeline has offered to give beginner crochet
lessons. More details...
