Members of the Purls of Prayer create dozens of prayer shawls each year. In addition to prayer shawls, several group members also created hats and mittens for Operation Christmas and prayer patches available for anyone to pick up in the Narthex. The prayer shawl ministry meets on the third Saturday of the month at 9:30 am at the church. Everyone is welcome to join us for fellowship, devotions, and snacks. The pastor blesses the shawls that have been created over the year before being presented to someone who may be celebrating a happy occasion or who may need comfort for any reason. If you know of anyone who may appreciate a shawl, contact the church office. Please consider joining this important ministry. Instruction and supplies can be provided. Chairperson: Sue Reinardy.
