Prayer Blanket Ministry
The Emmaus prayer blanket ministry involves intercessory prayer and sewing lap-size blankets to give to anyone needing the gift of love and prayer. Prayers are offered for recipients as the blankets are constructed and thereafter by both the ministry and other members of the parish community. In the beautiful act of giving and receiving, blessings and prayer, the threads of these blankets become interwoven with faith, hope and love. The prayer blanket is a tangible sign that each recipient is covered in prayer by our faith community.
Blankets are given to individuals who need the gifts of love and prayer: adults or children with a physical or emotional illness; those preparing for surgery or recovering from an acute illness; those living with a chronic conditionn or in treatment for a life-threatening illness; and those experiencing a crisis such as the loss of a loved one or job, troubled relationship, high risk pregnancy, miscarriage, or neonatal problems. Volunteers currently meet every Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. at 117 Longwood ave. in Lakeway. Contact . 261-4492.
