| Quilting Ministry |
What is the quilting ministry?
The quilting team crafts a lap quilt to be given to people (both church members and non-church members) who are experiencing challenges in their lives, usually critical health problems. The congregation finishes each quilt by saying prayers as they knot the yarn ties that secure the layers.
A focus on prayer for those in need is at the head of this ministry. The hands that make and tie the quilt affirm their faith in God's loving, comforting and healing powers. Those receiving a quilt are comforted that they are not alone – God is with them along with much love from St. Paul's.
How can I be a part of this ministry?
- Pray for the quilt recipients.
- Make a donation:
- Fabric-100% cotton, preferred, 1 1/8 yard minimum.
- Cotton batting for quilts.
- Money for supplies not donated (one quilt costs approximately $45.00).
- Direct the congregation to tie knots after a worship service.
- Join the quilters on Wednesday at 4:00 to help make the quilts.
Anyone can request prayers, and a quilt for themselves or on behalf of another. There is no charge for the quilt, but there is a responsibility to be actively involved in prayer. When a “sponsor” requests a quilt, they need to talk with the recipient about their prayer needs and gift of prayer in the form of a quilt. The sponsor must also be active in the praying process, tying effort of the congregation and delivering the finished quilt.
To request a quilt, contact the church office (344-3557)
