Prayer Shawl Ministry Team
Celebrates Their Ninth Year Anniversary
On January 15, 2024
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry began in January 2015 by Dottie Obenour. Within these nine years with the support and the blessings of Wallace Presbyterian Church, the prayer shawl ministry has kept going and has continued to surround people in need and comfort with prayers and love from these shawls. We thank you for your continued support and prayers. The Prayer Shawl Ministry has given over 800 prayer shawls to people in need of prayer and comfort. Here are some of the places the shawls have gone:

We have also given shawls right here and in and around Wallace. We are very thankful for yarn donations and money donated which enabled us to provide these wonderful handmade items. We are thankful for our ministry team and their interest in creating lovely prayer shawls for lovely people.
