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.

Thursday morning, September 15, at The Belted Goat

The Prayer Shawl Ministry at Newman gathered once again in Fearrington on a rather warm Thursday morning. Debbie and Gloria discovered they are notevole Italian women and Gisela and Wilma realized they arrived in the US from the same part of the world - beachtlich Deutschland. We hope to meet again sometime during the week of October 23. Be sure to let me know (Chris, Facilitator) if you are interested in joining us. We had a very enjoyable meeting.

Debbie, Wilma, Gisela, and Gloria
