Knit One, Pray Too

In 1998, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo, graduates of the Women's Leadership Institute at The Hartford Seminary, started a ministry that expanded their love of knitting and crocheting into a prayerful ministry and spiritual practice which reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as those who celebrate with joy.

What does Trinity Do?

Members of Trinity meet once each month for two or three hours to work on knitted or crocheted shawls that are distributed to members of the congregation who face life changes.

What Can I Do?

Join the working group and create handmade gifts of comfort and celebration. All levels of expertise are welcome!

Time Commitment

Time needed to knit a shawl, lap robe, or scarf.

Who Should I Contact?

Please contact Julie Nelson for more information or to suggest shawl recipients. You may also wish to visit the shawl ministry website.
