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.

The Prayer Cloth

The prayer cloth we made for the Small Faith Group is now in their hands. Several of us contributed our skills in making the 12 squares that Mary Beth put together. Paul and Christine, the leaders of the group, promised to send pictures during their journey. In the meantime, this is what it looked like last week with the embellishments that were added after their first meeting.
