Prayer Shawl MInistry This June will mark the Prayer Shawl Ministry of St. Mary's 4th year of serving the needs of our community, parish and faith through the creation of the Shawl Ministry. We take a deep breath realizing the many shawls that have been created and have caressed the shoulders of individuals both far and near. Our shawls have traveled across continents to England, Israel, Holland and from border to border in our beloved US...from Canada to Florida, New York to Mexico and many stops in-between. We continue to support the interfaith knitting that supplies Samaritan Albany General with shawls for patients in need. This Easter season we presented each candidate with a shawl for their baptism. If you would like to join us on this wonderful journey filled with moments that will take your breath away, please join us at our next meeting, Monday, June 9 at 9:00 in the basement of the parish house. Supplies, patter ns, as well as someone to help you learn to knit or crochet is always readily available and the welcome mat is always out. Please remember the Prayer Shawl Ministry in your prayers as we begin knitting and crocheting our way into year #5! For without your continued support this ministry would not prosper and continue to grow spreading the power and comfort of prayers wrapped around someone's shoulders. If you would like more information about this ministry or know of someone who benefit from receiving a shawl, please contact Carol Hawke at 926-2106 or Pat Jacobson at 938-2327 or the church office. Spring Cleaning ... If you have yarns that are not being used or you are ready to put them in a bag for charitable donations...please remember the Prayer Shawl Ministry....WE LOVE YARNS! ALL COLORS! ALL SIZES! ANY AMOUNT! Donations can be left at the parish house or call Carol Hawke or Pat Jacobson for pick up.
