Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need. We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed. If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16. We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail: Shirley Smith (538-6940) Helen Bouchelle (584-7230) Lora Womack (449-4049)

The new meeting time will be: The Third MONDAY of each month, starting February 16 at 1:30 PM, in the church library. Please note the new time! We have decided to try a daytime meeting to make it easier for members who do not like to drive at night to come join us. If you are not familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry, we knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to anyone, man or woman, who is going through difficult times or blessed with a happy occasion. Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need. We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed. If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16. We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail: Shirley Smith (538-6940) Helen Bouchelle (584-7230) Lora Womack (449-4049)

We have decided to try a daytime meeting to make it easier for members who do not like to drive at night to come join us. If you are not familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry, we knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to anyone, man or woman, who is going through difficult times or blessed with a happy occasion. Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need. We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed. If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16. We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail: Shirley Smith (538-6940) Helen Bouchelle (584-7230) Lora Womack (449-4049)

If you are not familiar with the Prayer Shawl Ministry, we knit and crochet prayer shawls to give to anyone, man or woman, who is going through difficult times or blessed with a happy occasion. Church members are welcome to select a shawl to send or give to someone they know might be in need. Records are kept so that we keep count of the number of shawls that were made and to whom they were given. If we have an abundance of shawls, we send some to Moses Cone Hospital to give to those in need. We have a nice supply of yarn, in the library closet, bought with the donations people send us to keep the ministry going. If you are considering a memorial to church, you might consider the Prayer Shawl Ministry. The yarn is free for you to take to knit or crochet a shawl, or if you chose, use yarn you might have. We invite anyone interested to come to the meeting, and we will help you get started in this wonderful ministry. The meetings are a time of exchanging of ideas and fellowship. At the close of each meeting, all the shawls members have completed are blessed. If you are interested, please join us Monday, February 16. We need you! If you have any questions, please call or e-mail: Shirley Smith (538-6940) Helen Bouchelle (584-7230) Lora Womack (449-4049)
