Prayer Shawl Ministry
Needles Click, Warmth Spreads…
Twice a month, the the smell of coffee and the sounds of good friends coming together for a common cause. It’s Westminster’s Prayer Shawl Ministry. The group started in February 2004. To date, they have given away nearly 500 prayer shawls. Recipients have ranged from new parents to members who have suffered the loss of a loved one. One of the most memorable special projects was their “Save the Penguins” project in 2014. Members knitted sweaters for penguins that had been affected by oil spills in Australia.
Good work, good fellowship.These words describe Westminster's Prayer Shawl Ministry.

Led by Karol Cooper, this industrious group will even show you how to knit if you'd like to join. Anyone who has ever benefited from the comfort of a prayer shawl during a difficult time in life can attest to just how special this ministry is. Know someone who could benefit from a shawl? Call the office and let us know. We'll make sure you get one!
