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.

Congratulations Shelly and Christian and Welcome Little Will!

William Dominador Cristobal arrived on July 15, 2012 at 1:41 am.  He weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. There is a very lovely prayer shawl (aka baby blanket) waiting for him. Our next meeting is September 6, 5:30 PM, Newman Library. Maybe we'll see him there. Ah, there is nothing like a wee bitty baby to hold. So peaceful and full of love!

Shelly, Will, and Christian
