Knit/Crochet Workshop: Prayer shawls

Free Workshop! Saturday, Nov. 8 at Shallowford Pres. Church. Come learn to knit or crochet, teach others or hone your skills.

At Shallowford, knitters, and those who crochet, create shawls with a purpose.  he shawl maker prays for the recipient with every stitch, and gives the shawl a final blessing, that it might provide God’s love and comfort to the recipient.

Rev. Chris Henry says, “The prayer shawl ministry shares the prayers, love and concern of our church community in a powerfully tangible way.”

In 2014, volunteers have already given more than 80 shawls, and they invite anyone and everyone to learn the skill and continue the practice on their own.

Ministry leader, Denise Webber, says, “I lead a Prayer Shawl Ministry because I was first a prayer shawl recipient.  I know how deeply my heart was touched by this selfless gift from someone else.”
