QUILTS OF CARE: SHARING WARMTH NEAR AND FAR
Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our quilting ministry, 109 quilts were donated to Lutheran World Relief, extending warmth, comfort, and hope to people in need.
In total, Lutheran World Relief distributed 315,818 quilts to 15 countries, with 101,581 quilts reaching communities across 12 states in the U.S.
We are grateful to be part of this wider ministry of compassion.
In addition to global outreach, our quilts and donations also supported local ministries, including St. Matthew’s House, high school graduates, baptisms, and special recognitions within our congregation.

BOOK CLUB: FEBRUARY 9
All are welcome to attend! Join us in Room 2 at 2:00 PM on February 9 as we discuss The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.
Set in a small Pennsylvania town, this richly layered novel weaves together themes of community, justice, and compassion as long-buried secrets come to light. Through unforgettable characters and a powerful story, McBride invites readers to reflect on what it means to care for one another and to stand together in the face of injustice.
We hope you’ll join the conversation!
