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.

Yes, we did it!

35 shawls for Christmas - our goal for the residents of Crescent Green. Quoting one of our members, "It is a Christmas miracle!" Each one of them has its own beauty. An ambitious goal it was indeed - fulfilled. What a great feeling. Thank you all so much.
