The Knitting Sisters meet Tues from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. at Linda and Sparky Clark’s home. We crochet and knit prayer shawls, as well as lapghans, small blankets for hospice, and Twiddle muffs for dementia patients. These are blessed in church before distribution to those who need healing from illness or loss. Here is the card attached to each one:
A SHAWL PRAYER
This shawl has been made for: _________________________
by members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry of Emmanuel Episcopal Church Woodstock, Virginia
Let us pray this blessing:
Be well… Be warm… Be loved… Be comforted…
This shawl was started with prayer, created with prayer, and officially blessed with prayer for the recipient’s healing, comfort, and peace. Wear it in the sure knowledge that you are loved by God.
We also support each other in our spiritual journeys. We have become true sisters and have been truly blessed by our Lord and His gift of friendship and outreach. If you have questions about or would like to join the group, speak with Linda Clark. The group would be happy to have you!
