Participants knit or crochet prayer shawls and present them to the survivor of a recently deceased person within a week or two of the burial. The person knitting the shawl prays as she/he makes the shawl for the person who will ultimately receive it. Two members from our bereavement ministry visit the bereft and present the shawl with a prayer booklet and a booklet with meditations for bereaved people that covers 60 days… all to help the healing process. We do not record who makes the shawls, and there are no meetings. A booklet of patterns, prayers and information is provided, and materials are donated by the makers.
