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.

Our upcoming gathering on December 4

Here it is, December 1, only 3 days before we get together as one group. There probably won't be much knitting or crocheting done, only a magnificent feast of food and fellowship. Father John will be joining us. We hope to have lots of shawls/lapghans for him to bless towards our goal of 35. There will be plenty of food for all. All you need to bring is yourself. Your presence is your gift to our ministry.

Everything is a grace.
Romans 4:16
