The shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered:
"We call forth blessings from above in the name of God, Creator, Giver of Life and Holder of Time. In the name of Jesus, Savior, Comforter, Consoler and Sustainer of Life. May this shawl be a mantle of caring, of protection, of wholeness, of strength, of healing and patience. May this shawl enfold, encircle and empower. Amen"
This group operates under the direction of the Presbyterian Women and meets weekly (with the exception of the summer months) and you don't have to be there each week. Join them when you can. Prayer shawl patterns are available.
Worship with us Sundays at 8:30 and 10:15 a.m.
