What We Do...The In Stitches Ministry creates prayer shawls to give
to anyone going through a time of illness, sorrow, transition, challenge and joyous occasions in life such as a birth of a
child or a marriage. As the shawl is created, crafters offer prayers inviting God's presence to be experienced by the recipient.
You can find out much more about
prayer shawls here online.
Who We Are...This
unique ministry of comfort began in July 2004 with a few women who had a love of knitting and crocheting. Since our small
beginnings, we have given away many handmade prayer shawls to people going through a difficult time in their life. The shawl
serves as a tangible reminder to each hurting person that they are covered in God's all-encompassing love each time they wear
the shawl.
Where and When We Do It...We've moved into the community with our little band of knitters & crocheters! We meet
at 10:00 a.m. on the 3rd Saturday of every month at Barnes & Noble Booksellers located at Crossroads Towne Center, 3807
S. Gilbert Rd. in Gilbert.
Come
to the coffee shop and join us for a relaxing 90 minutes of knitting, crocheting, great conversation, coffee & goodies!
(And even take a sneak at some of the great books while you are there!)
