This was held at the Painesville fairgrounds where other churches and service providers were handing out free food, haircuts, clothes etc...

Care and the love of knitting (and crochet) have been combined into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl. The knitter begins each shawl with prayers for the recipient. Prayers are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. When the shawl is completed, it is offered a final prayer before being sent along its way. Besides knit and crochet; the shawls can be woven, sewn, quilted or machine knitted. This ministry is an extension of the Mercy Ministry. “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 |
