• Prayers and Squares Chapter 540 was established by an alliance of women at First Assembly of God.
• It is an outreach ministry that combines the gift of prayer with the gift of a hand-tied quilt.

• We have incorporated the use of 39 red ties in our quilts representing the 39 stripes Christ took for our healing.
• The ends of the ties are left free to be tied in a knot.
• As each knot is tied, a prayer is offered for the intended recipient.

• The recipient is someone who has a special need and a request for a quilt has been made.
• Prayers are offered, knots are tied, the quilt is then given to that special person.

• Our quilts are special not because of the pattern, color or workmanship, but that prayer is offered for each knot.
• These quilts are a statement of faith, a belief in a healing God and a confidence in the power of prayer.

• Beryl (Burgandy) Geer• I was given the prayer
quilt when I had major lung surgery in 2007. It was (and still is) such a wonderful visual reminder of the “prayer and caring” the ladies of First Assembly emanate. I keep this quilt on my recliner at all times.
