Do you hear God’s call to join us?
Do you have a talent to share or would like to learn to knit or crochet? We have everything you need to get started. Consider joining us at a meeting or work at your own pace at home to create God’s loving embrace for those in need of our prayers and support as they face medical procedures and comfort after a loss or in time of stress, during an illness or recovery, for babies or anyone that needs to be “wrapped” in prayers.
We’ve already distributed over 300+ shawls and throws! This past year, we knitted hats, scarves and mittens for the homeless.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is grateful to all knitters and crocheters for your work and dedication to this ministry.
We have patterns, needles, hooks and yarn AND “to go” yarn kits ready for you to pick up in the Gathering area.
Recommended sizes are 18”-20”x50”–60” for a shawl or 34”x44” for a lap throw. If you’d like to get some supplies call Dee in the office at (440) 256-1412 or Karen (440) 943-5637.
As you work on your project a simple prayer is:
“Know the Father, Know the Son, Know the Spirit. Love the Father, Love the Son, Love the Spirit.”
Any prayer will work for each stitch or as you begin and end your time. Best part is that you’ll be spending time with God!
Our Mission: A prayerful, loving ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace. Many blessings and prayers are woven into every shawl, scarf, throw, baby blanket, hat and booties.
