Denver Prayer Blanket

This prayer blanket was made in Colorado while I was there on staff for the 2011 One Way Street Denver Festival.  Sometimes one prayer blanket triggers a connection with many people in prayer, a powerful support, lifting up the needs of another person. 

 And so this went around the room, with many people intervening on behalf of someone else. 

Whether it is a prayer blanket or a crocheted prayer shawl, prayed for by one person as it is made, and blessed by clergy, or a prayer quilt that is made by many hands then prayed in community and blessed by the pastor, the bases of it all is prayer and intercessory asking God to bless, provide for or heal the recipient.
