PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

The Prayer Shawl Group is doing many new things.  At least 40 blessed prayer shawls have already been given to people on the prayer list and to others.  Also we have given pocket prayer shawls to our military fighting overseas.  And a number of prayer shawls have been donated to Sentara’s Hospice program.  We are now making hats and scarves for the homeless in Portsmouth.

Do you like to knit or crochet?  Want to learn how?  Lessons are available. 

We invite you to join us on Tuesday mornings, 10:00 am, in the Jeff Jones Room.  Contact Carolyn Holmes.
