SHAWL KNITTING MINISTRY will meet Monday, May 12, from 10:00am-2:00pm. (NOTE: the church office will be closed on May 26 in observance of Memorial Day.)
Our purpose is to provide prayer shawls to anyone in need of a tangible expression of our congregation's support, love, and prayers during a difficult time. Our prayer is that as an individual wraps up in one of our shawls, he or she will experience God's presence and healing power at work. There are many prayers knitted into every shawl. When we meet as a group, we bless the completed shawls and pray for all those who will be receiving them, even though we don't know names most of the time.
We begin knitting at 10:00am and break to eat our own bag lunches around noon, then resume knitting until 2:00pm. You are welcom to come for all or any part of the time. If you are a novice knitter, there are folks in the group who can help you. |
