Women's Ministry Handbook Contest
Woven Prayersis a ministerial handbook based on Scriptures and prayers. It has 41 devotional lessons and eight crochet patterns divided into three areas: Personal Relationship with God, Interpersonal Relationship with Others, and Ministerial Relationship with the World. It allows opportunities for personal reflection and a discussion guide for small groups.
Reverend Evelyn Rainey has crocheted since she was 8 years old and has taught and still teaches crochet. For five years, she facilitated a Prayer Shawl Ministry. They crocheted caps for adjudicated youth felons, christening sets for newborn babies of unmarried teen parents, afghans for homeless women veterans, and shawls for anyone who needed comfort while going through times of illness, distress, or grief. Along the way, they faced many challenges and obstacles, but also learned a great deal both as a women’s group and as a ministry.
Whether you crochet at a beginner or master level, you can use this book individually for weekly devotions, or to form, facilitate and support your own Prayer Shawl Ministry. Bulk copies (orders of 12 or more) are available through the publisher at a discounted price to help encourage the establishment of prayer shawl ministries in churches. The book is sufficient to start and maintain a prayer shawl ministry, but Rev. Rainey is available for assistance via email and zoom. Contact her through this website.
Our next meeting is this Thursday March 9 from 10:00 to noon, (Remember, we meet meeting regularly every other Thursday.) Scripture, prayers, and patterns will be used to make things for those in need: preemie and baby items, children's bully caps and other items, modesty nursing blankets for nursing mothers, and caps, gloves, and slippers for invalids, not to mention afghans of all sizes and, of course, prayer shawls. Instructions and lessons are provided free to all participants. Bring your own yarn and needles or hooks, and a friend or two!
