Why a Prayer Shawl?
Prayer Shawls are a tangible sign of God's love and the prayers of a community. They are the result of the love and prayer put forth by a dedicated group of women. As they knit and crochet these colorful shawls, they pray that the needs of the recipient be met by our Almighty Father in heaven, who knows ALL things! Below are a few details about our shawls:- the general size of shawl is 20" by 50"
- a medal and/or cross is added to finished shawl
- shawls are blessed by clergy before given to recipient
- there is no charge for prayer shawl
If after reading this you remain interested in gifting a Prayer Shawl to someone who is in need of a reminder of God's love, grace and mercy, then please complete the request form to the right. You will be contacted within 24-48 hours of your request, confirming receipt and delivery options.
