Knitting Into the Mystery Returning to In-person Gatherings

For nearly 20 years, a cadre of knitters at Grace has worked prayerfully and soulfully to create Prayer Shawls. The shawls are blessed by our priest and parish and are sent out into the world to fulfill their ministry of giving comfort and support. 

“Thank you…I did not want to be a recipient of a prayer shawl, and was reluctant at first to take it. But as soon as I put it on, I felt the warmth and power of the prayers that went into it. It has not left me since — I even sleep with it.” — Prayer Shawl Recipient

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a novice, you are welcome to join in Knitting Into the Mystery. Shawls will be created for marriages, births, illnesses, comforting, moving away to college, etc. 

How you can participate:

Bring your unused, washable yarn to the collection box in the Narthex.

Join us as we gather together to knit on fourth Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. starting July 24!

Contact: Shannon Moore.
