Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is designed as an outreach to anyone with a specific need for prayer and comfort. Several ladies in the church knit or crochet shawls or lap blankets while at the same time praying for the specific prayer need of the individual. When finished the shawl or blanket is prayed over during a worship service before being given to the individual for who it is intended. We have received many testimonies of the comfort felt by prayer shawl recipients including several who took their shawls into surgery with them. If you have a need for a shawl or blanket, call Wendy Hoverter at 697-4504 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The Pray Shawl ministry will be hosting monthly knitting/crocheting Circle. Meets every 4th Sunday at 6:30pm. Great time to fellowship and work on current projects. Open to anyone who would like to learn to knit/crochet as well.
