Prayer Shawl Test Page

As we move through life there are many times when we need a hug from loved ones.  But sometimes that hug is not possible.  Grace has a ministry that offers support during times like these.

Members of Grace United Church’s Prayer Shawl Ministry knit or crochet shawls that are made and interwoven with prayer and blessed by the Prayer Shawl Ministry members and by our congregation. The shawls are then made available to those in the church and community in need of comfort or healing, as a form of joy.

Shawls are also given to Grace’s newly baptised children.

There are a number of different kinds of Shawls created by this group:

  • Rectangular with fringe (not recommended for those using wheelchairs as fringe tends to catch in the wheels)
  • Rectangular without fringe
  • Triangular
  • Hug-Me-Tight

We also knit Chemo Caps made out of cotton.

To request a shawl or a chemo cap please complete the following form.

Thank you.  One of the members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry will contact you to arrange the pickup or delivery of the shawl.  Please note at this time we can only fill requests for delivery in the Burlington area.
