Prayer Ministries
Prayer Telephone Chain
If a special prayer concern occurs when the group is not gathered, the telephone prayer chain is set in motion.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Over 40 shawls have now been knitted and given to anyone carrying a heavy burden, suffering an illness or a loss. They are made with love by the women of this group and other friends.
Before the shawl is given away it receives a special blessing from this group.
Prayer of Blessing for the Shawl
May God’s grace be upon this shawl...
warming, comforting, enfolding and embracing,
May this mantle be a safe haven...a sacred place of security and
well-being ... sustaining and embracing in good times as well as difficult ones.
May the one who receives this shawl be cradled in hope, kept in joy,
graced with peace, and wrapped in love.
Blessed Be!
