The Prayer
Shawl Ministry at our church has been active for about a year.
Through
August 2011 over 150 shawls have been given.
There The
blessing of the Prayer Shawl provides healing and comfort to the
sick, the lonely and the elderly, or shares in the accomplishment of
the graduate, newlywed, and newborn. Like all acts of generosity,
the presentation of a Prayer Shawl enriches the giver as well as the
recipient. If you would like to join a group please send an email to prayershawl@fpceh.org or call our church office 324-0711

NEWS:
The prayer shawl knitters have taken on
a new challenge. We will be knitting cotton caps for newborn
babies. In addition to the caps, the hospital is interested in
hand knitted or crocheted blankets for the very sad times that
present themselves when there is a stillbirth. At those times
the baby is presented to the mother in a handmade blanket for her to
hold, which is helpful as part of the grieving process. The
blanket then becomes a keepsake for the mother to take home.
This is a very special ministry.
