Quilting at Dr. Martin Luther Church

There are numerous ways for members and friends to be part of the mission of Dr. Martin Luther Church. One of the longest-running ministries of DMLC is the quilting ministry. Meeting on the third Wednesday of each month, our quilters gather to put together some of the more than 100 quilts sewn every year. The quilts are distributed to different non-profit organizations, including Lutheran World Relief (LWR).

The quilters are celebrating National Quilting Day on Saturday, March 16th, from 9:00-11:00 with an event to show people how we have been putting our “faith into action!” There will be snacks to share, a quilting demonstration, a video about LWR’s quilting ministry, and even an opportunity to learn how to make a quilt.

The seasonal publication for LWR, God’s Love in Action, highlights ways our donations of quilts and other items provide for people in need of our compassion and prayer. The quilts from DMLC are shipped to Minnesota, with final destinations of:

Angola, Dominican Republic, Republic of Georgia, Guatemala, Liberia, Mali, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and The Gambia.

The Outreach Ministry Team’s Wishing Well Focus for March will be collecting items for Baby Care Kits, including items pictured below. There is more information posted on the bulletin board in the gathering space outside of the sanctuary.

See you in worship!
