Grace Prayer Shawl Ministry Warms Hearts

The Prayer Shawl Ministry brings comfort to many. by Nancy Belcher

Grace Prayer Shawl Ministry began in December 2004 with 10 members ready to knit or crochet shawls, baby blankets or lap blankets.  We have now grown to 20 eager members who are ready to provide a shawl or blanket as the need arises. 

Since our first meeting we have made nearly 400 shawls, lap blankets, and baby blankets for all occasions:  weddings, sickness, grief, new babies, men and women in armed services, seniors graduating from school, friendship, caring, or comfort.

We have quarterly retreats in the parish hall and do monthly blessings in the chapel on the second Sunday of each month after the 8:00 am service. 

For more information, please contact: Nancy Belcher at 573-814-3210 or nanknitter@gmail.com or through the church office.
