Overview:

This is a lovely story. The prayer shawl ministry of the Hope of Glory Community Church has long met in the prayer chapel. Four Church ladies praying and knitting shawls for anyone in need. They are content with the way things have always been done. But..the congregation is dwindling, the pastor is feeling pressure from the bishop and something has to change or the church may close.

While the chapel is getting a little redecorating, Pastor Pete suggests Margaret, Rose, Jane and Fran find somewhere in the community to knit, perhaps the mall (such an idea!),  bringing their ministry out of the four walls of the church. Not everyone is amenable to the idea but the results can only be attributed to answered prayer. A delightful, touching story.
