Welcome
to The Prayer Shawl Ministry!
Are
you looking for a ministry of prayer and care for others? The
Prayer Shawl Ministry may be a way for you, your
church, or your community to reach out with love and care to others
who are hurting or who may need a special blessing. Hundreds of
people from churches and in communities around the world are using
the patterns for making prayer shawls. Many, many people have
been comforted and felt loved through this ministry. There are links
on this web site with directions for making prayer shawls, prayer
links and prayer squares, suggestions for how to begin this ministry,
some ideas about how to invite others to participate in the ministry,
and some prayer shawl stories from those who are involved in the
ministry, in their own community or church. May the Lord lead, guide,
bless, and anoint you and your prayer shawl ministry for the glory
of God! Please consider sending a prayer shawl story to us to encourage
and inspire others to become involved in the prayer shawl ministry. |
God
has inspired many, many people for many generations to serve the
Lord through prayer using blankets and shawls in diverse ways. How
great is our God to lead and guide so many people over so many years
to create hand made gifts using different materials, praying similar
and diverse prayers, and for many different ministry uses.

We have been combining prayer and knitting for the ministry of others
for many years. For more than ten years, hospice patients, the elderly,
and others who needed a special blessing have been given knitted
and crocheted gifts. This ministry strives to bring God's love through
the comfort and warmth of hand made items.
"Let us
consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds."
Hebrews 10:24
"For it
was you who formed my inward parts, you knit me together in my mother's
womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful
are your works; that I know very well." Psalm 139:13-14 NRSV
