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.

It is "I Love Yarn Day"

There is so much going on with our ministry that I almost forgot about this very special day. It only comes once a year, always in October. Go out and knit in public, give someone a special handcrafted gift made with yarn. Oh, I love this day.



Lots going on with our Prayer Shawl Ministry at Newman, which I will post about later. Right now, we need to just profess and share our love for yarn!
