PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Prayer shawls were started in 1988 by Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo. They combine caring and the love of knitting into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort. The knitter begins each shawl with prayers for the recipient. This is continued during the entire time of the construction of the shawl. When completed a group will pray for the recipient. The shawl is given to the recipient and a blessing given.
Who would receive these shawls?
Whoever God leads us to give them to. These can be people with severe illness, cancer, loss of a loved one, or personal problems that prayer and caring would help. In time we may be able to give to other causes like birth of a child, weddings, graduations, and baptism.
Who should I contact with questions or for meeting times?
Vikky Hogarth at 215.256.8228 or vikkymom@verizon.net
Who is welcome to join us?
Anyone who knits, crochets, sews or weaves. Anyone who would like to learn to knit or crochet. Anyone who would like to be a part of a prayer ministry. Anyone who would like to donate yarn to our group. Everyone who will pray for us and the people God asks us to pray and care for.
