Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer Shawl Ministry Volunteers meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons to knit or crochet shawls, blankets, and lap robes. Knitting and crocheting is mostly done in fellowship with other Roswell Presbyterian Church members, but individuals may bring finished items to the group. After a prayer by name, a prayer shawl is delivered to those recently sick or in surgery. Roswell Presbyterian Church members may request that one be delivered.
