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.

Peg is on the mend!

Peg has been absent from our meetings for a while. We have missed her and she has missed us. After suffering these past three months with a severe case of vasculitis, she is healing and feeling better. She hopes to join us on Thursday, January 19, when we meet again. Her words - "I think that the fact that I have survived this ordeal is really a testament to all the prayers in my behalf. I am a firm believer in the communion of saints and call on all my family and friends very frequently! Hope to make it next week, Peg."

Here is a picture of her with the prayer shawl Marty made and took over to her last week. We send you our love and prayers, Peg. We continue to pray for your return to good health.

May the Lord bless and protect you,
May the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you,
May he be gracious to you,
Show you his favor,
And give you his peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
