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.

"Peace begins with a smile." – Mother Teresa

Our meetings have been canceled through the end of the semester.  We will be staying close to home and all of us who are able will be self-isolating for a while. Reduce your stress level with knitting and/or crochet and prayer. It's an excellent way to pass the time and an excellent way to find peace and relaxation.

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
