Prayer Shawl Ministry

One of the many ministries offered at Church of the Palms is our Prayer Shawl Ministry.

We are looking for people that knit or crochet and are willing to knit or crochet prayer shawls and/or lap throws. This is a wonderful way to offer strength, comfort and support for anyone who may be experiencing health issues, loss of a loved one or any need they may have. The shawls or lap throws are prayed over by Pastor Pete before they are given out to those that need them.

There are a couple of patterns that might be helpful for this project if needed. Contact Dee Lehr if you are interested in helping with this very rewarding Ministry. (843-757-6775 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) Thank you!
