The Prayer Shawl Ministry of Yalesville United Methodist Church has been gathering to knit and crochet prayer shawls, lap blankets and baby blankets since the spring of 2009. A small group gathers at the Church once a month, but a number of talented congregation members knit and crochet at home. During that time, 13 people have been presented with a prayer shawl or blanket. The group hopes that recipients have comfort in knowing that they have been in the prayers of the congregation. At the August 2010 gathering of the group, there were 23 prayer shawls and blankets available for distribution.
The next gathering of the Prayer Shawl Ministry will be on Friday September 17th in the Gathering area from 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. All are welcome.
Looking ahead to the fall and winter, there are two activities planned…with more to come!
October 17 – 2 p.m. – Cook and Care Walk
December 28 – Midnight Run to New York City with the New Canaan UMC
Stay tuned for more outreach opportunities ahead.
