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.

Summer Meeting Schedule

Because Newman will be closed the first week of August, our Thursday evening meeting scheduled for August 4 has been cancelled. Our fall schedule will be posted shortly with September being just around the corner.

Newman will be having a Ministry Fair on the weekend of August 27-28. A member or two from our ministry will need to be available at our table to talk about our ministry and answer questions to those who might stop for information.

Our next meeting is schedule for Tuesday evening, July 26.
