Prayer Shawl Ministry
In 2007, two women of Asbury UMC started the Prayer Shawl Ministry with an invitation to anyone who could knit or crochet to join them in creating shawls which are then given as gifts of hope, comfort, healing, peace and love. Since then, we now have 6-8 women creating shawls and others who donate yarn.
These Shawls are available if you would like one or know someone who needs a warm hug and prayer. Shawls are available for members and friends to share as hospital and home visits are made.
This ministry blesses many–those who pray as they create, those who pray as they give and those who receive the warmth of our love and prayers.
Please just call the church office or stop in and pick one up.
ECHO (Everyone Cooperating to Help Others)
We are one of the sponsoring churches for this community outreach project and support it with financial gifts, donation of items to the food pantry, school supplies, Christmas toys, and other items.
