Knitting Prayer Shawls
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? —Isaiah 43:19
“Sit down with a group of knitters anywhere and ask them to tell you stories about how they learned to knit. Many of the stories are humorous; some are tender; some are gently self-deprecating. Nearly all are colored with a love or fascination for knitting; nearly all reveal relationships with at least one other person, the person who taught them how.” Susan Jorgensen author of Knitting into the Mystery has hit it on the head with that comment. There is a group of ladies that meet to knit together and share stories. What is a Prayer Shawl? A lovely piece that is either knitted or crocheted by our hands with prayerful intent in hopes that the recipient will find balance back into their lives. If you know someone that is out of balance with their lives with either sickness or other life changing events, and want them to receive a shawl, contact us. If you are interested in learning to knit or crochet, or find out more about the Prayer Shawl Ministry, come meet with us at the church the second and fourth Tuesday at 6:30PM or the first and third Tuesday at 10:00AM. Contact Lesa Nelson at 648-8291 or embarkguru@cox.net.
