“Here I am Lord—is it I Lord? Whom shall I send?"
Simply put, social action breaks down to “action on behalf of and with others.” It’s what each of us is called to, in a variety of forms, as part of our growth as active Christians. This “action” will take various expressions at various times of our lives, BUT the response of “Here I am, Lord” ought to be alive in us, always.
Here at St Mary of the Falls the “with others” is made easier by the number and variety of groups already in place and individuals engaged in social action—that’s what this series is all about. We want each and all of you to know what already exists so you can see what best fits you. Click the buttons to learn more.
The Craft Group has lovingly donated its time and talents to create hand-knitted and crocheted Prayer Shawls for those in need.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry has reached out to comfort many people during the painful and difficult times in their lives brought on by illness, hospitalization, or the loss of a loved one. Prayer Shawls offer spiritual strength through the prayer and love that are woven into them by the hands and hearts of the ladies who design them. Prayer Shawls are gifts of faith that have been blessed and cannot be bought. They are given freely in the hope that they will bring God’s love and healing to all who wear them. If you know someone in need of a Prayer Shawl, please let the Craft Group know.
To get involved or to request a Prayer Shawl, contact Judy Stasenko.
