The purpose of a prayer shawl is to give someone a tangible example of God's love and care. The shawl is made of soft yarn/material so the recipient can wrap up in it and feel God's arms around him or her. A prayer shawl is made with prayer. The maker of the shawl prays while they work on the shawl. Sometimes we know who we are making the shawl for, and sometimes we don't, but we pray for the person who receives it just the same. The shawls or lap robes can be knit, crochet, or quilted.
Everyone is invited to join this ministry. If you do not know how to knit, crochet, quilt we will teach you or find something else you could help us with.
