Pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18

“While the fabrics may be beautiful and the stitches that bind them may be even and tight, it is the prayers–our minds and hearts lifted to God on behalf of others–that make a prayer quilt an instrument of grace. The prayer quilt is a tool. Only God is the healer. What does it mean to be a ‘member’ of the Prayer Quilt Ministry or to ‘belong’ to a Prayers & Squares chapter? There are no membership cards, no membership dues, no embarrassing initiation rituals; not even a secret handshake. You don’t even have to quilt or sew. All you have to do to be a member of the Prayer Quilt Ministry is to pray.” (Taken from Fabric of Faith – A Guide to the Prayer Quilt Ministry by Kimberly Winston)

Here are some of the ways we can use your help:

Table attendants

Quilts laid out for tying by the congregation in the Narthex are attended by one or two people whom direct and assist people who are tying knots and answer questions about the ministry.

Attaching ties

This crucial part of the ministry and doesn’t require any special training! We do this as part of our monthly workshop.

Quilters

Sewing of the quilt tops and finishing the quilt bindings. We have many patterns that have been designed by Prayers & Squares chapters around the country.
