Women Ministries - Prayers & Squares, The Prayer Quilt Ministry
Can you touch a prayer? Can you pull it close and feel its comfort? You can if it’s part of a prayer quilt. Prayers & Squares is an interfaith outreach ministry that combines the gift of a hand-tied quilt with the gift of prayer for someone in need.
The idea behind these quilts is simple, yet powerful. A prayer quilt is a quilt made with love and tied with prayer. A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with a square knot.
As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for someone in special need.
The quilted piece is then given to that person. What makes each quilted piece special is not the pattern, color or workmanship, but the fact that each prayer is symbolically tied into each one. These quilt pieces are a statement of faith, and a testimony to our belief in God and in the healing power of prayer.
