Prayer Shawl Ministry
You may have received a knitted or crocheted shawl as you experienced a difficult time in your life.  These comforting shawls are hand-made by the Prayer Shawl Ministry group.  This group of ladies (at present, no gentlemen have joined us) meets at Zion during the morning of the second Tuesday of each month.  Our fellowship includes coffee, conversation, sometimes instruction, and making of prayer shawls. The shawls are usually distributed by Zion staff members as needs arise. Call the church office to volunteer!

We invite you to pick up a needle or two and join our efforts. Yarn can be provided.
