The Prayer Shawl ministry is one in which people prayerfully knit or crochet a shawl or small afghan which is then presented to someone who is celebrating a joyful occasion like the birth of a child, or who may be ill, grieving, or going through a difficult time. It is one way that we can share God’s love with them and assure them of our support.
