PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a group of women who make prayer shawls, lap blankets, baby blankets, chemo caps, and scarves for those who may need a little encouragement and comfort, and who need to know that there are people who are praying for them. They have presented hundreds of items so far.

The group meets on Mondays at 10am. At each meeting they chat, eat, and create! Most members knit or crochet, but anyone with a desire to learn and serve is welcome.

Shawls are available in the church office during the week and at the Welcome Desk in the Narthex on Sunday Mornings.
