Dear Saint Andrews,



    "Thank you so much for the prayer shawl that kept me nice and warm during my illness. I will always cherish it and think of you and all the time and love you knit into it."

    "How blessed we are to have received a prayer shawl. Thank you very much."

    "Thank you for my prayer shawl. I keep it on my chair and it brings me comfort every time I rest."

    " Thank you so much for the prayer shawl for my sister. At times I have even wrapped myself in her prayer shawl and felt the warmth of the prayers all night. Words can not express my gratitude for this ministry of blessed comfort."

    Shawl3 " Thank you so much for the beautiful healing shawl. I have used it everyday since I came home from surgery."

    " My prayer shawl has been the most comforting and generous gift I could have received at a time when it was most needed. Wrapping the shawl around me gives me solace and peace and is to me a testament of the love and compassion of our St Andrews family."

    " I was humbled, honored and so very grateful when I received the beautiful prayer shawl from St Andrews. It is so lovely and I feel the love of the whole church family every time I touch it." " We want to thank you for the prayer shawl ministry and the lovely shawls we received. The support that we have been given by this parish in so many ways has been incredible. We are so very fortunate to have you all."

    " I want to thank St Andrews for this wonderful prayer shawl ministry. When I wrap the shawl around me, I know that I am in God's arms and am truly blessed."

    Shawl4 " My husband and I wrapped ourselves in the prayer shawl he received from St Andrews and we felt the love from every stitch. There are times when I wrap just myself in the shawl and I feel such relief from the stress and the uncertainness we feel during his illness."

    " Thank you for the prayer shawl. It has provided warmth and comfort during this difficult time. It also helps to remind me that others care."

    " The prayer shawl has been a constant reminder that everything is going to work out in God's way."

    " We want to thank you for the prayer shawl. We lay it over the top of the incubator. All our prayers are keeping the baby alive."

    From Greenwood, Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina:
    " We are all so overwhelmed with the compassion, love and caring of total strangers for our fellow Mississippians in their time of devastating loss and need. That you ladies would do something so time consuming and so giving by making and sending us the prayer shawls and rosaries just speaks the true nature of Christian love. To say that we all appreciate your kindness does not begin to touch the feelings but it is a beginning."
