Prayer Shawl Ministry

The mission of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is to provide hope, comfort, and healing. It is a unique way of reaching out to the community in a very tactile way. A prayer shawl can be seen as a symbolic “hug” from God.

A REMINDER OF GOD’S LOVE

Prayer shawls, sometimes called comfort shawls or peace shawls are intended to be a reminder of God’s ever-present love. A prayer shawl is a gift for every time and every occasion…joyful or sorrowful, for every circumstance of life…chosen of unchosen, when you are weeping or when you are celebrating. The power of the prayer shawl is in its physical properties and source of warmth.

GIVING A PRAYER SHAWL

Do you know someone who is in need of a prayer shawl? Perhaps you know of a friend or family member undergoing a physical or emotional challenge or someone who has experienced a personal loss or needs a tangible reminder that there are people who care, and that God continuously wraps each of us in his endless love! Prayer shawls are given to celebrate happy occasions too….birth of a baby or a marriage…occasions filled with hope.

CALLING ALL KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS

This ministry is open to anyone who has the skills to knit or crochet or who would like to learn how to knit or crochet. Whether you knit or crochet quickly or slowly, your help is welcome to help fulfill the mission of spreading God’s love through prayer shawls. Even if you can’t attend the meetings, shawls can be created at home and given to a member of the Ministry to be blessed and given to someone facing life’s challenges.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets monthly in the library.
