Prayer Shawl GroupWe will provide warm shawls to place on the shoulders and laps of those in our midst who suffer the pain of loss, sadness or illness. It has proven to be a truly rewarding ministry to those around us who ache for a comforting word and touch. Many recipients have been richly blessed by these gifts over the past few years and as knitters we are also blessed by each life that is touched and by each stitch that is prayed over as we visit in a communion of love and connection twice a month.
The busy prayer shawl knitters and crocheters will resume their bimonthly gatherings on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday morning of the month from 10:00 a.m - 12:00 p.m. There continue to be beautiful stories about the way that our prayer shawls and lap blankets have been a blessing to those who have received them! It is an awesome privilege to be a part of something so amazing! Keep up the good work, everyone! If you have any questions, please feel free to call Okie at 306-543-3861 or at rookjevantol@gmail.com. If you know of someone in your life who would benefit from the gifting of a shawl, please let us know. Either Okie or Laura will consider your suggestions! |
St. James Reach Out ClubThe Reach Out Club was started as a way to 'reach out' to those at St. James who would like to get out once a month with a group of people with no agenda other than to socialize, have fun, and eat. It has been a hit as there has been a good turnout each month as we visit various restaurants where we can accomplish this very unique task. If you would like to come out and join us, but need a ride, we can arrange that.
If you need a ride call Joan at 306-543-2647 or Priscilla at 306-543-6473. If you are coming please sign up on the sign-up sheet in the narthex. Everyone is welcome!
