On Wednesdays, from 9-3, women gather at the church to make tie quilts for Lutheran World Relief, as well as local agencies as there is need. Last year they shipped 347 quilts to Lutheran World Relief and donated 51 quilts to a variety of other ministries.
Quilts are often given to members of the congregation in times of transition (graduation, a move, ordination) to remind the recipients that no matter what happens to the quilt itself, the thoughts and prayers of the congregation remain wrapped around them.
The quilters are also involved in other outreach ministries, including collecting and assembling materials for school kits and layettes. |
