Meetings here at the church building are currently on hiatus.
We will be blessing the shawls that have been made over the last year and a half when we return to in-person worship in the Sanctuary. Watch the EBlast for announcements of the date.

Prayer shawls symbolize shelter, peace and spiritual sustenance. They are also called comfort shawls or peace shawls and are a simple, universal and enduring message of caring. The creation and presentation of a prayer shawl, like all acts of generosity, enriches the giver as well as the recipient. Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting have been combined into a prayerful way of passing on love and joy. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl.
Shawls can be used during prayer or meditation, while undergoing medical procedures; during an illness and recovery, while ministering to others, as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress or bereavement. The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies our thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.
