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.

2012 Comes to a close

We won't be holding any further meeting this year. I hope to put together a January/February/March schedule soon. Check back when you can.

When January comes we will be saying "goodbye" to Sheeba who has worked with much enthusiasm coordinating the distribution of our prayer squares. We can't thank her enough for all she has done for our ministry. A celebration in her honor will be held either before Christmas or shortly after. In the meantime, let me know or talk to Sheeba if you are interested in learning more about this important part of our ministry.

Thanks so much, Sheeba.
