    Sometimes it helps to actually, physically feel prayer wrapped around you, and that is just what a Prayer Shawl does – whether you are snuggling a new baby, in need of God’s embrace after the death of a loved one, or hurting from illness or injury, a prayer shawl is a beautiful, homemade, tangible reminder that you are lifted up by God’s love in prayer by our Needlecraft Ministries team. These knitters and crocheters have not been thwarted by the pandemic, and continue to meet in spirit and by email and zoom to continue their work of needle-crafting prayer into a colorful shawl, or a Prayer Square if you just need a soft “hand” to hold. Together, the team encourages one another, posts ideas, patterns, and pictures, and shares yarn, devotional readings, music, and prayer, so that every item designed and created is itself surrounded by their loving spirits uniting as one.

    Whether you’re a needlecraft expert or just giving it a try for the first time, you can connect with this team, or any of our other Needle Craft Ministries HERE.
