Prayer Shawl Ministry

"Bless others through knitting & prayer"

The "Covered in Prayer" Prayer Shawl Ministry has been in existence was started to provide beautifully hand knit or crocheted prayer shawl for those who are ill. The members have an enjoyable time of fellowship as they sit and knit each month.All who enjoy knitting and crocheting are invited! The feedback has been tremendous, and positive comments have been received from the recipients of our prayer shawls.  All shawls made are donated and then blessed by our Rectors on the altar on Sundays.  This way of knitting and crocheting, with the purpose of blessing others in need, is a very soul satisfying experience.

If you have a relative or close friend who you feel would be comforted by receiving one of our blessed and "made with love and prayers" prayer shawls, please leave your name, their name, and condition to pray for as we knit their own personal shawl, in our Prayer Shawl Basket on the Information Table. Also if they should have a favorite color/colors that you would like their shawl made, please that info as well.  You may also pick up an already-made and blessed prayer shawl in the church office, if you don't want to wait to have a personal one made. When you take a prayer shawl, just leave your name, their name and date inside the box containing the shawls that are located in our church office.  If you would like more information about the Prayer Shawl ministry please contact Sherry Godden.
