July Quilt: You could win this beautiful patriot quilt to celebrate our country's 250th birthday by donating $5.00 per ticket. All proceeds are given to one of our local homeless shelters. Drawing will be on July 26. This quilt was seen and donated by Suzanne Hammons. Tickets are available in Luther Hall after church or from the office.
The Quilters are on Summer break but are still meeting the first Thursday of August the 6th at 9:00 am
They are always looking for new folks to join them. No experience necessary and there are a variety of jobs and skills needed. Please contact Kathy Schnabel at (909)703-7444 for more information.
This congregation has a history of quilting bees in the past when quilts were made for fundraisers or to honor special people of the congregation, but in 1999, Hilma Ronfeld and Betty Lubcke decided to form a group to make quilts for the Lutheran World Relief. From this small group of women in 1999, the current quilters have grown in numbers to over 30 participants. 8739 quilts have been shipped and will have nearly 600 to ship this year.
In 2010, it was decided to expand the ministry under the supervision to Joann Adamson, by making raffle quilts to benefit our local homeless shelters. Since that time, $20,000 has been given. We have had tremendous support from the congregation and the community with both monetary and fabric donations. Boxes just show up at the back door. All of this has been accomplished by the grace of God. Zion has been Blessed!
