Loving God - Creating Hope - Changing Lives
We present prayer shawls to anyone in need of these visible reminders of the love of God and that of the St. Paul's UMC community. Shawls are given for occasions including (but not limited to) births, illness, graduations, deaths, and weddings. Since July 2019, thirty-nine shawls have been presented.
Prayer Shawl Blessing
May this shawl be for you a sign of God's loving, healing presence.
May it warm when you are weary.
May it surround you with encouragement when you are discouraged.
May it assure you of God's care and comfort when you and your loved ones are troubled.
May it remind you that you are always safe in the arms of Jesus.
And that you are surrounded by the prayers of others.
