Prayer Shawl

Join the Prayer Shawl Ministry or Request a Shawl

Join a dedicated group of needle work enthusiasts in crafting shawls for those in our community who need to be surrounded in love and prayer.

This group knits and crochets shawls while meditating and praying over their work.  The finished shawl is then blessed and then is ready to go to someone who needs it.  If you are an experienced knitter or crocheter please join us!  If you do not know how to knit or crochet, but you have the desire to learn, we can make that happen.  Patterns are straightforward with repeating rows so they are fine for beginners as well.

We meet every Monday at 11:00AM and the first and third Tuesdays at 6:30PM, so even if you work, you can join in fellowship.  You can also work at home on your own.  We meet in the Baker's Kitchen (small building near the food pantry).  Yarn and supplies are provided.

If you know someone who is grieving, has a serious illness or is struggling and can use a warm shawl and the prayers that go with it, please contact:
