Rev. Susan Izard (left), Minister of Spiritual Life at the First Church of Christ Congregational in West Hartford, shared the special ministry called "Prayer Shawl Ministry" with Sr. Jo-Ann Iannotti, OP (right) recently during an interview for "Rich Answers," a radio program sponsored by The Conference of Churches in Hartford. It is aired every Sunday morning on WRCH 100.5 FM from 5:30 -6:30 am.
The shawls are knitted as prayers for individuals to experience the love of God through the craft work of those who knit them. They are given as signs of the concern of other community members. They are given to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy. For more information about this ministry, visit www.shawlministry.com.
