Prayer Shawl Ministry
ATTENTION KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS!
A prayer shawl can be a tangible symbol of being wrapped in God’s love. It is a wrap that is knit or crocheted by members of this congregation. The shawls are then given out by the pastors (or by a lay person) to individuals as a gift of encouragement and support. So, what makes a prayer shawl a prayer shawl? It is the prayers (general or in some cases for the intended recipient) that are prayed as the shawl is being made, and also the way that the shawl represents, to the person who receives it, being supported by the prayers of the congregation.
Simple patterns are available for both knit and crochet at the display in the narthex. You may also use any pattern you would like. For more information, contact Theresa Nysetvold (507-227-7381) or Marcia Kunze (836-8136).
If you are unable to make it to church and would still like to participate in this ministry, please call the church office (836-8291) and arrangements can be made to deliver the yarn or pick up the completed prayer shawls.
