Learn how to knit or crochet ~ and join the Prayer Shawl Ministry!

by Carol Ferrari-Rogers on January 20, 2022

Have you ever wanted to learn how to crochet or knit?

If you would love to learn and at the same time be able to make Prayer Shawls for those in need, please come to our first class on Tuesday, Feb. 8th.

A Prayer Shawl is a wearable ((HUG)) crafted with love. They can be knitted, crocheted, or quilted. They may be adorned with beads, bobbles, fringe, or nothing at all. While the maker is creating, they keep the recipient in mind with prayer, personal words, song, or mantra. It’s these thoughts imbued in the shawl with each stitch that make them so special. The shawl is not only healing for the recipient, but also the maker.  When the shawl is completed it will be blessed before being sent to the recipient. Shawls are given freely as a gift to anyone in need.

We will be having the class on Tuesday, Feb. 8th in the Parish Library from 10:00 am-noon.   ALL are WELCOME!!  Maria Tarr is a Master Crochet/Knitting Teacher and will be able to get you started at crocheting or knitting.  Be sure to bring knitting needles or a crochet hook, some yarn, and a notepad to take notes.  Also, if you have already started on a project, be sure to bring it along to the class. Experienced needleworkers are also WELCOME to attend the class.  Maria will be able to help answer all your knitting and crochet questions.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!!
