Prayer Shawl Ministry
What is the Prayer Shawl Ministry?
Unity of Mesa's Prayer Shawl Ministry was brought to life in May 2006 by congregant Delaine Collins. Based on the work of The Prayer Shawl Ministry started in Hartford, Connecticut in 1998, our Prayer Shawl Ministry has met on a regular basis since it's inception. Our community continues to come together much like an old-fashioned quilting bee to knit and crochet shawls, blankets, and hat. Each project begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl, blanket, or hat is sent upon its way.
Whether you love to knit or want to learn, we invite you to join us in our cause - making items to donate to our congregation, organizations in our community, and our world.

When does The Prayer Shawl Ministry meet?
The Prayer Shawl Ministry will return in September 2026. We meet in the Community Room of the main building on the second Thursday of the month at 1:00 pm.
