Prayers and Squares is an international interfaith program that combines the gift of prayer with the gift of a hand-tied quilt.  Quilts are distributed to those in need of prayer - people who are hospitalized or suffering from illnesses, military personnel or those facing a personal crisis or disaster.  A heavy thread is used to make stitches through the quilt layers with the ends of the stitch left free to be tied into a square knot.  As each knot is tied, a prayer is said for the recipient of the quilt. 

Recently the Friendship Quilters group has expanded and included those that can knit or crochet to help in making Prayer Shawls.  If you would like to request a quilt or shawl for someone in need, please complete the form below.

If you would like to join us, we meet the 2nd Saturday of every month from 1 - 3 PM in room 107 (Chapman Building).
