Prayer Shawl Ministry
We have people who knit and crochet prayer shawls for those needing God’s comfort and support during difficult times. (This ministry is not limited to women, but it is listed here because women more often are interested in such projects.) Contact Karen McCullough at 821-8511 for information on how to become involved, or if you know someone who could benefit from a shawl. This ministry also needs monetary contributions to buy supplies. The group meets on the first Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. No experience is needed—instruction and assistance are available.
This ministry has expanded its "volunteer giving" to making baby blankets and newborn baby caps for local new-mother charities, as well as providing shawls for hospice patients. Beginning knitters/crocheters as well as experienced crafters are encouraged to join either group. There are many new patterns and ideas available to inspire you. Volunteers continue to make prayer shawls to keep up the supply, and they encourage all to share shawls with those who need a special expression of God's love at a difficult time.
