Prayer Shawls In the late 1990’s, two women from Harford, Connecticut started a ministry that has spread from coast to coast. In 2005, St. James Presbyterian Church launched it’s “Prayer Shawl Ministry”.

Members of our congregation knit shawls while praying for whoever the final recipient of the shawl might be. The shawls, lap blankets, and children’s blankets are then labeled and made ready for people of the congregation, community, and friends across the country that are in need of prayers, comfort and unconditional love. Each Prayer Shawl is accompanied with a note card with a prayer.


Since 2005, St. James Presbyterian Church has presented over 110 Prayer Shawls, Lap Robes, and Youth Blankets to friends in our church, our friends in the community and people in need across the country.

May God's grace be upon this shawl...

warming, comforting, enfolding and embracing.
May this mantle be a safe haven... a sacred place
of security and well-being…
sustaining and embracing in good times as well as difficult ones.
May the one who receives this shawl be cradled in hope, kept in joy, graced with peace, and wrapped in love.

 Blessed Be!
