The Watchman Prayer Shawl Ministry

Watchman volunteers began a Prayer Shawl Ministry in 2006 to benefit Hospice & Community Care patients and families.

Our volunteers have combined their love of knitting and crocheting with compassion for others into a ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort. Whether they are called prayer shawls, comfort shawls or peace shawls, the knitter begins each garment with prayers and blessings for the recipient. Prayers are continued throughout the creation of the shawl with a final blessing for the recipient upon completion before the garment is sent on its way.

Hospice & Community Care’s Watchman volunteers are trained to serve their churches and communities to share information and raise awareness of services offered by Hospice & Community Care. The Watchman Prayer Shawl Ministry Team is a diverse group of volunteers who gather to knit, crochet, pray, share and bless the work of their hearts and hands for you, the recipient.
