Stitch and Prayer
Sharing God’s warmth and love through the fabric of faith.
Do you enjoy sewing, knitting, crocheting, or quilting? Would you like to complete projects for people who can use a touch of warmth and care? Join this interdenominational group in making items for the sick, needy, and homebound!
About Stitch & Prayer

Meetings are held at Assumption Parish on the second and fourth Mondays of the month (see the parish calendar for our schedule). All ages and experience levels are welcome.

Our Prayer
Dear Lord,
Bless these needles that they stay strong and light, so they don’t tire the hands that wield them.
Bless this yarn with strength and softness that it will form a cloth of warmth and comfort.
Bless these hands with strength and skill so they may make well-crafted gifts.
Bless this heart with strength and perseverance so I will see this work through to bring comfort to those in need.
But most of all dear Lord, bless the wearer of this cloth with strength and comfort that their burdens may be lightened and their hearts gladdened with the realization that they are loved.
Amen.
