Home      Mission      Prayer Shawl Ministry

 Prayer Shawl Ministry: 9:30 – 11:30 A.M. Wednesdays

         

This is a group of 15 – 22 women who meet every Wednesday in the church parlor, to knit prayer shawls and pray. In 2008, they made 180 shawls and presented 165 to those in our community who are in crisis or who are in need or comfort and prayer.    

They would welcome you and even teach you to knit!  

The goal for the Prayer Shawl Ministry is that “We be a part of the ones that comfort.”

 

The prayer shawl prayer is available in both English and Spanish.

 

Prayer Shawl Mission Prayer

In the name of The Father, The Creator, The Giver of life.  

In the name of Jesus, The Savior,  The Healer, and Lifter of Pain.  

In the name of The Spirit, The Comforter, and The Sustainer of Life

This shawl was created as a mantle of caring, of protection, of strength, 

of healing, and of patience.  

May it enfold you , encircle you, warm and comfort you when you are weak and weary.  

O Christ, who heals the broken in body and spirit, be with all who suffer today.  

Be with the doctors, nurses, and technicians, and all who care for other.  

Be with the families and friends of those who comfort. 

May your gentle yet strong touch reach out to heal all the broken and hurting people 

and places in the world.  Amen.
