that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love . . .Colossians 2:2 NASB
The mission of our Prayer Shawl and Lap Robe Ministry is to show God’s love in a tangible way to those who are hurting.
As the Prayer Shawl (for women) or Lap Robe (for men or couples) is being stitched, the recipient is lifted up in prayer that God will help them with whatever struggle they are facing. It is our prayer that when they wrap themselves in it, they will feel God’s abiding presence and that it will be a tangible reminder of God’s love.
