Who could imagine that the simple act of knitting a Prayer Shawl and making it available to anyone in the congregation would reach out to so many people here and beyond. Initially, Carol Stoneman in her effort to reach out to folks hurting or in need… envisioned some of her friends like Ruthie Ham and her knitting the shawls so Sean and Community Minister Susan Brooks could take them to folks shut in or in the hospital. A wonderful gesture. But as more people made them… they decided to make them available to anyone who felt they knew someone who could use a Prayer Shawl. Today… 31 Prayer Shawls are in use by grateful recipients from here locally..to a cancer patient near the seacoast. We even have a relative in New York making shawls for us to give out. One recipient recently told Sean… whenever I am feeling down or lonely…I just put on the shawl and feel its warmth and love and kindness in the person who made it and the person who delivered it. We are blessed with the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Upcoming fellowship events nourish body and soul. All are welcome! Ladies’ Get Together: Wednesday, May 16 at noon at Jake’s Seafood Restaurant on Route 16 in Ossipee
Philathea: Thursday, May 17 at 6 pm at Jake’s Seafood
