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.

Yards and yards of yarn ... beautiful shawls ... sharing and growing in our faith

The Prayer Shawl Ministry at Newman is celebrating its 1st anniversary - started in November 2010 and growing from five yarn lovers to 29 registered members. It's been quite a year!

Lord, make me YOUR instrument!
