The Men’s Woodworkers Prayer Wall Project

The Men’s Woodworkers Group is building a wooden prayer wall similar to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Written prayers would be tucked into the crevices between the small pieces of wood that make up the wall. On Wednesdays, the Prayer Team would gather the pieces of paper and pray over them.

If you have any interesting scraps of wood, please consider bringing them to the Incarnation Office and placing them in the bin labeled for the Woodworkers. The emphasis is on unique and varied species of wood and color and less on quantity. It would be helpful to have a note on the wood identifying the species.
