United Methodist Women members can warm up for Assembly by putting their legendary craft skills to work making prayer shawls and baby blankets for the quadrennial event in St. Louis Mo., April 30-May 2. The items will be displayed in the Assembly Experience Hall and distributed after the event to mission institutions and persons in physical and/or spiritual need. Some of the shawls will be available for purchase with proceeds going to United Methodist Women’s Mission Giving. The shawls and baby blankets may be sewn with fabric, knitted or crocheted. Suggested sizes for the prayer shawls are; triangles—65” long and 32” center back; rectangles—19“ x 69“, or 14“ x 70”. Suggested sizes for the baby blankets are; 30” X 30 “, 32” x 32”, 36” x 36” and 38” x 38”. These are suggested sizes and shouldn’t limit creativity. Prior to Assembly 2010, United Methodist Women members should take the completed prayer shawls and baby blankets to their local churches to be blessed. Send the consecrated items to Linda C Douglas, Women’s Division/General Board of Global Ministries, 475 Riverside Dr, Room 1504, New York, NY 10115 by April 1. In the spirit of Faith*Hope*Love in Action, use your talents and skills to share warmth and love with others.
