Prayer Shawl & Quilt Ministry |
 |
This ministry began in our parish in 2006 and was formed as a means to combine compassion and the love of knitting, crocheting and sewing into a prayerful ministry and spiritual practice. This ministry reaches out to those in need of comforting and solace, as well as in celebration and joy. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl and quilt and then the shawls and quilts are blessed by a gathering of ministry members before they are given away. Prayer shawls and quilts can be given to those undergoing medical procedures, as a comfort, after a loss or in times of stress, during bereavement, during an illness and recovery, for prayer or meditation or in celebration of special events such as adult Baptism or Confirmation or other major life events.
The Prayer Shawl and Quilt Ministry gets together twice each month (a Monday and a Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm) except during the summer months, in the community center to work on prayer shawls and quilts. No experience is needed to participate in this ministry. Watch the bulletin for dates. Anyone interested in participating may call Terry Humenik (517) 896-4989 or at stjudesrn@yahoo.com or Jackie Urbain at (517) 669-5060 or Terry Angwin (517) 669-9745.
Donations of cotton fabric and worsted or homespun yarn is welcomed.

St. Jude’s Prayer Shawl and Quilt Ministry has made, blessed and given away 400+ Prayer Shawls and Prayer Quilts in the past 4 years. Each one is stitched with prayers that will wrap the recipient with a visible sign of the Love of God and the care and compassion of our faith community. We are always interested in having more help in this beautiful ministry. We meet to work together one Monday and one Saturday during the Fall/Winter and Spring. No experience in sewing, knitting or crocheting is necessary. Join us on November 14 and November 30.
We especially miss those who knit or Crochet, making our beautiful prayer shawls. Please come and join us!
