Prayer shawls are a tangible sign of God’s love, and prayers are woven into each shawl.
A prayer intention is offered for the recipient who may or may not be known to the shawl creator. In the process of knitting or crocheting, prayers are offered for healing, for comfort, for peace of mind.
As the recipient wraps him/herself in the shawl, they are enfolded in prayers.
The prayer shawl ministry meets in the church gathering space Fireplace Lounge on the second Tuesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. to pray, knit or crochet, and share patterns and fellowship. As each shawl is completed, a blessing is offered for the shawl and the person who will receive it.
New people are always welcome, regardless of ability for needlework. Our more experienced members would love to help you get started. Even if you can’t make the meetings, you can still contribute shawls made on your own. If you have any questions about joining the prayer shawl ministry, contact the parish office at (262) 691-1173 or parish@stanthony.cc
