MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT – PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

The Montview Prayer Shawl Ministry members knit warm and cozy shawls that are given out by the pastors and the congregation to those facing a difficult time. They also knit headbands for the Homeless Packets, hats for children and adults, and baby hats for Denver Health. To learn more, visit their table in the Outdoor Plaza and choose a shawl for someone in need.
