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.

Thanksgiving comes early for the Prayer Shawl Ministry at Newman

A big shout out to Mary at Yarns, Etc. ( http://www.yarnsetc.com/ ) here in Chapel Hill (on Elliot Road next to Whole Foods) for her very generous gift to our ministry. I picked up and brought home yarn, yarn, and more yarn. There is Homespun, Caron, Lion Brand, and more. We have enough of each kind to make more beautiful shawls and lapghans. And she just gave it to me! We will knit and crochet with love and prayers and spread your kindness around our world.

THANK YOU, Mary, and Yarns, ETC.
