The Newman Prayer Shawl Ministry began in the fall of 2010. It is multigenerational and open to all men and women. We gather in community as we knit and crochet shawls, blankets, lapghans, and prayer squares for members of our Newman community. We share our faith and love of the Lord while we work.
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.
