Prayer Shawl Ministry—Lent: Quiet reflection and repetition.
Next Meeting March 12
Lent is a quiet season: providing a time to reflect, pray, and meditate. Some find the repetitive nature of knitting or crocheting an aid to meditation and reflection. If you do, and would like to make a scarf for charity, the Prayer Shawl Ministry will have yarn and scarf kits available in the Crossroads. Kits include yarn, directions for a knitted or crocheted scarf, and online knitting and crocheting resources.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry will be meeting on the second and third Thursday this month. The hybrid (Zoom and in person in Conference Room) meetings run from 10:30 am to noon.
