Prayers and Squares
The Prayer Quilt Ministry
Can you touch a prayer? Can you pull it close and feel its comfort? You can if it’s a prayer quilt.
The idea behind these quilts is simple, yet powerful. A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with a square knot. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for someone in need-someone who has asked for prayer. The quilt is then given to that person. What makes each quilt so special is not the pattern, color, or workmanship, but the fact that prayer is symbolically tied into each one. These comforters are a statement of faith, and a testimony to our belief in God and in the power of prayer.
You do not need to be a quilter or seamstress to join this ministry! There are plenty of different jobs to do. Please come, lend a hand, and pray with us.
Meets every Wednesday from 10 AM - 2 PM in the Senior Adult Center
If you have questions, or would like to request a prayer quilt for yourself or for someone you love, please contact:
