    Description

    If anyone has the ability to crochet or knit, many of our hospice patients would love a prayer shawl.

    Prayer shawls are started by the person knitting/crocheting them keeping the recipient in mind while they pray. Once it is presented, the hospice patient will feel comforted by the prayers and the work of the individual who created the shawl. This shawl usually becomes the touch stone of the family when their loved one has passed. It is a reminder that prayers and the beauty to create go hand in hand.

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 1 - 50+
    • Event can be held at a volunteer group location (e.g. office, park)
