Sandwich Ministry: Every fourth Sunday of the month we make 50 bag lunches for homeless working men who are staying at the Guest House Homeless Shelter in Milwaukee.
 PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRYWhether they are called Prayer Shawls, Comfort Shawls, Peace Shawls, or Mantles, etc., the shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way. Some recipients have continued the kindness by making a shawl and passing it onto someone in need. Thus, the blessing ripples from person-to-person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, mothering God!
