The Prayer Shawl Ministry begins with the person who is knitting or crocheting praying for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is distributed to those who are ill, in the hospital or those with any loss or other needs. Shawls are typically delivered in bags decorated by our Sunday School children. The Prayer Shawl Ministry Group meets on the 1st Saturday each month (September through May) at 10:00 a.m. Contact: Leila Gordon via the church office at (352) 347-6422 or email church@stmarysbelleview.org
