PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY: God's House is a house of prayer and our Prayer Shawl and Lap Quilt Ministry exemplifies and personalizes God's presence and promise in prayer. Prayer shawls and lap quilts are given to anyone, member or non-member, in need of prayer and encouragement wherever they are whether in nursing homes, hospitals or confined at home. Those receiving the prayer shawls and quilts receive comfort and encouragement from the physical warmth as well as the promise attached. It has been said that the prayer shawl and lap quilts give tangible evidence of God's involvement in our life. If you have a need for a prayer shawl contact our church office at (706) 733-6076 or sheri.agee@orlcaugusta.com.
Thanks be to God for His blessing on this ministry!
