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.

Prayer Squares

Hi group,

Just want to give an update of the prayer squares. We need 60 squares for the spring break trips. We have 31 so far. I've given 9 squares to Paul Stage for the social justice retreat (I hope). I've separated the white and red prayer squares (knitted by Peg) for baptism and conformation.

The spring break trips are from March 3-10. It would be great if you could leave the prayer squares in the PSM box at Newman. I will find and update when the confirmation is scheduled and how many squares we might need.
