That their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in love, to have all the riches of assured understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, of Christ, – Colossians 2:2
What is a Prayer Shawl Ministry?
Whether they are called Prayer Shawls, Comforts, Peace Shawls, or Mantles, shawls have been made for centuries: they are universal and embracing, they comfort and enfold, wrap, shelter and hug. Those who knit and crochet shawls, and those who receive shawls, are loved and blessed. How are the Prayer Shawls Made? The shawls are hand knitted or crocheted but could also be woven, sewn, or machine knitted. Are all the shawls the same? The patters are simple and each shawl is one of a kind. Do you know someone who needs a prayer shawl? Perhaps you know a friend or family member undergoing a procedure, stressful moment, challenge, mourning a personal loss or any number of needs... Someone who needs a tangible reminder that there are people who care and a God who loves them. Maybe you know someone who is celebrating a joyful occasion filled with hope and the shawl can serve as a reminder that God is with them in joyful moments as well. |
