Caring Crafters

The Caring Crafters open each session with a chalice lighting to focus our attention on our craft and our purpose.

Caring Crafters Chalice Lighting

We light this chalice in blessing to guide our hands in joy.

We light this chalice to remember those whose lives have been warmed by our simple skills.

We light this chalice for those who will need a shawl in the future that they may feel our support through this gift.

We light this chalice for the shawl ministry around the world, creating a union with others and celebrating the hope this sharing craft inspires.

Bless the work of my hands, the yarn, the needles, the hook and the loom.

May this task bring peace to the crafter and comfort to whomever receives it.
