The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, as prayer, for prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

A prayer shawl or blanket embraces the recipient with the unconditional love of the Lord. It is a gift reaching out to those in need of comfort and solace as well as in celebration and joy. Prayer squares are given to those going on mission trips, working for social justice. Many blessings are prayed into every item we make.

Gwen keeps us supplied

Gwen is always thinking of us. She has the sweetest friends and some of them love yarn! She stopped over one Thursday to one of our meetings to drop off another yarn donation. Our stash has grown beyond all expectations. We'll be knitting and crocheting for a few months anyway. Thank you, Gwen. You are our "honorary" member. You are full of sunshine!
