Knit One, Pray Too

Knit One, Pray Too is the prayer shawl ministry of Mt Zion. A soft, comforting prayer shawl is given as a reminder of the comfort and healing of God's love in a time of distress. Our prayer shawl ministry has given over 400 shawls to loved ones over the years.  Since the group's inception, our shawls have been distributed around the world, to every continent except Antarctica. 

Meetings

2nd Tuesday of the month from 7-8 pm in the Conference Room. No experience needed, all ages are welcome. Bring a set of size 13 needles, if you have them. Coaching, yarn and fellowship provided.

Knitters (or crocheters) meet to compare notes, ask questions, get knitting help and for prayer. Most of our volunteers also work on the shawls at home or when they are out and about. You might even see someone knitting during the sermon at church! We are always amazed at the variety of colors and patterns that make up these shawls and we feel that each shawl is especially made with God's plan to comfort and encourage someone.

Participating without knitting

The church purchases the special yarn needed to knit these shawls, and yarn is continually needed to keep this ministry going. The cost of yarn for one shawl runs about $15. For small children, stuffed animals with handmade hats and scarves are put together with the same love and care. All donations designated for the Knit One, Pray Too ministry are used to purchase yarn and/or animals.

You may participate in this ministry by knitting or crocheting shawls, praying for the people who are doing this work, donating to cover the cost of the yarn, or taking a shawl out of our basket (right next to the prayer corner in the narthex) and giving it to someone who needs it. Add your name to the clipboard list attached and fill out the information, so we know who is receiving a shawl and that we can continue to pray for them.
