Our quilters Phyllis M., Kristine C., Elaine S., Nina G., Carol S., Mary W., and Helen M. worked hard together to make at least 60 quilts and sewing kits. They were sent to Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) to be given to someone around the world who could use one of these quilts.
During the service of blessing-dedication, each person took a quilt, and placed it on the altar.
Pastor's message:
The quilts we dedicate today are representative of the many items which your servants have put together over the last year. We commend the women of our church who so faithfully have met together to make these beautiful quilts. We thank God for their devoted service and through their work have gathered items to stitch together these quilts. We pray that they will continue to use their talents to create beautiful messages of love to the people in God’s world who may be desperately seeking your word of grace and comfort. We pray that God would renew our Christian calling in God`s mission to help those in need–-to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, comfort the weary and outcast, welcome the stranger and be a loving neighbor to all the people of the earth.
Then a prayer of blessing was said...
