Prayer shawls are sent to men, women, and children who have lost loved ones or are suffering from various illnesses or difficult circumstances. They are sent to old, young, churched, and unchurched; they are your family, your friends, neighbors, and strangers. The one thing they have in common is that they desperately need to know that someone cares about them and that they are loved by their heavenly Father. Included with each shawl are a praying hands charm and a handmade card telling them of Jesus’ love for them. The recipients of the shawls and blankets are prayed for by the people making them. Our hope is that the shawls will bring comfort and that when they are used; the people will feel covered by the prayer of God’s people.
Volunteers are always needed to help knit and crochet the prayer shawls. If you are interested in being part of this ministry, please contact the church office and we will get you in touch with the appropriate person.
