Prayer Shawl Ministry
When Do We Meet:
2nd Monday of each month at 1:30 PM in Gathering Room
What part of Christ’s teachings are we trying to fulfill:
Comfort the sick, comfort those who mourn, prayer and compassion for those in need. “Where two or more are gathered together…”.
How do we do that:
We use our time, treasure and talents to prayerfully create shawls to be given out and used as a reminder of God’s love for that person.
How other organizations can help us:
- Spread the word that shawls are available to anyone who needs one.
- Help encourage people to offer their talents to make additional shawls prayerfully.
- In the future there could be a need for financial assistance to buy yarn.
How we can help other organizations:
- We have contributed to Fr. Peter’s emergency fund for parishioners in need and will continue to do so yearly if funds are available.
- We gave 10 shawls to the Youth Group to bring to the families whose homes they worked on in NC in 2008. We continue to give shawls to the Youth Group each year. We would consider requests like this on a limited basis with sufficient notice.
