Service on Campus

This is a fun, friendly fellowship of quilters who come together to share their craft. Learn from one another, and unite in mission to help others in need. This group has provided quilts for our soldiers serving in Afghanistan, Displaced people suffering after Hurricane Katrina and the fires of Arizona, and has also provide quilts to be sent overseas to various missions and orphanages served by Lutheran World Relief.

In addition to these projects, the group also provides a ready supply of prayer quilts, which we use to tie “Prayer Knots” and bestow upon the sick and injured.

If you have a hobby, craft, or small business that involves thread string or yarn, then this is the group for you. Come and work on your project, share your ideas, and enjoy the company and fellowship of other crafters in the area. Opportunities periodically allow you to showcase some of your work if you choose. Don’t have a craft but think you might like to try? Well come on down and we’ll get you started.

One of the things LWML is doing in our church is the Mite Box. Based on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1-4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” – offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program. For more information on this, and the LWML, go to www.lwnl.org.

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2, NRSV).
