Quilting Ministry
Purpose:
To reach out to people throughout the world, providing a sense of hope, comfort and love, as we spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
What do we offer:
In the midst of illness, loss of a child, a physical touchable expression of care and concern can be very important. The members of the Quilting Ministry create beautiful quilts that provide care, comfort and encouragement to the hurting. Our quilters enjoy fellowship, prayer and sharing with one another as they quilt. Our group meets on various days of the week.
A few stories:
A family lost their full-term baby at birth - a remebrance quilt was prepared for the parents. This quilt carried a special scripture verse message for the parents and was given in memory of their beautiful daughter.
An aging mother/grandmother found that she had few comforts left as various illnesses of age began to attack her body and mind. One comfort that she loves to hold is the quilt made for her by us.
A mom dying of cancer wanted to give her children something to remember her by. We crafted a quilt especially for her with scripture verses and her name on it. This mom slept with the quilt nexty to her body, so that after she was gone, her children would be able to hold it close themselves and remember their mom.
