Outside Our Doors

Shawls From the Heart

Our mission group called "Shawls From the Heart" has been making prayer shawls and are now making new born baby blankets. They gather on Mondays at the church at 10:00 a.m. People from many faith traditions have found it to be a spiritual comfort. The shawl is usually large enough to wrap around one's shoulders in order to create a sacred space to pray. As a person crochets or knits a prayer shawl or baby blanket, they keep in prayer for the person who is to receive it. Each prayer shawl and blanket is blessed by the pastor before it is given. If you would be interested in being a part of "Shawls From the Heart", please contact Carolyn Paden at 660-815-4407. You can join at any time. Patterns, instructions, and one on one help are available
