Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry at Second Baptist Church invites individuals to join on the first and third Thursdays of each month from 12:00 to 2:00 pm, upstairs in the Family Life Center near room 248.Those interested in learning to knit or crochet are warmly welcomed, and yarn is provided for anyone wishing to create items for donation to various missions.

For 18 years, the ministry, under the leadership of Robinette George, has been dedicated to knitting and crocheting blankets, shawls, lap robes, hats, scarves, prayer squares, and washcloths to support church members during significant moments in their lives. These handcrafted items offer comfort during times of illness and joy during celebrations. In addition to supporting 2BC members, the ministry donates these items to various missions, including those in West Virginia, Loaves and Fishes, Youth Graduations, and Baby Dedications.

The ministry also accepts donations of sewing, knitting, and crocheting materials to support its efforts.

For more information or any questions, contact Robinette George at (804) 647-9195, Tiffany Dawson at (804) 938-9926, or Vickie Ritter at (804) 347-3815.

Upcoming Dishcloth Collection!

Use the pattern above to help us make dishcloths for the Loaves and Fishes Mission! A display will be set up in the FLC beginning March 16th. The display will have yarn for pickup and will be there for finished products to be returned by May 4th. We are aiming for 200 dishcloths, with at least 100 to be distributed in honor of Mother’s Day to the Loaves and Fishes recipients. The remaining dishcloths will be distributed during the Christmas season.
