PRAYER BLANKETS
Sharing God's love and comfort with those who are hurting...
St. James Lutheran Church felt there was a need to reach members and the wider community with prayers when an individual or family was going through health issues or dealing with the loss of a loved one. Under the direction of Jan Cressman-Weiss, our Prayer Blanket Ministry was created.
Finished blankets are blessed during a Sunday morning service at St. James before being delivered to the recipient. Each blanket provides comfort and
encouragement to the ailing or grieving individual.
Over 500 blankets have been completed to date with some being sent as far as California. Our Prayer Blanket Ministry has been recognized by CKCO-TV as Local Heroes in Waterloo Region.
If you know someone in need of a prayer blanket, please contact Jan.
