Prayer Shawls are handmade shawls made in prayer for the person who is to receive them.  Some are knitted  while others may be crocheted. The  traditional prayer  shawl is knitted with a simple repeating pattern known as the” Trinity stitch” because it is knitted in multiples of three. (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)

 

Did you resolve to learn knitting or crocheting this year?  Or do you want to join a friendly group of people to visit, pray, learn with, or just enjoy a cup of tea and an afternoon of fellowship?  Then join us on the third Tuesday of each month, during the school year, from 1-3 P.M. in the church basement. Do you know of someone who might  be comforted by receiving one of our shawls?  It may be a family member, friend or neighbor who may need this comfort after a loss, in times of stress, during an illness and recovery, or during  a time of celebration, such as graduation, wedding or baptism.  There are endless possibilities!

 

If you have any questions concerning how we make the shawls or pocket prayer shawls, need yarn, directions, or needles etc. contact Betty Tyndall through the church office.  If you’d like to give a shawl to someone contact Betty or Pastor Chris, or fill out a request form located in the vestibule, and place it in the church office.
