PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
“Behold I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:19
The New Year is a good time to begin this prayerful ministry. Prayer Shawls or Comfort Shawls can be knitted or crocheted. When they are completed they will be blessed and then given to someone, who has a special need or celebration.
The morning group is meeting regularly on Tuesdays at 10 am. The evening group is meeting intermittently on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. Check the calendar for scheduled meetings. If you have any questions please call Patsy Jamieson.
