SEPTEMBER QUILT RAFFLE
The quilt for September is a vintage quilt of geometric design donated by Charlotte Cook, a member of our community. It was pieced and sewn by her grandmother perhaps in the 1940's, and hand-tied by the Zion Quilters. Raffle tickets are $5 each with all the proceeds benefiting our local homeless shelters. The winning ticket will be drawn on September 29th after the Divine service. You do not need to be present to win.
The Quilters meet on Thursdays from 9am-12pm in Luther Hall.
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.
Celebrating 20 years
of Lutheran World Relief
quilting at Zion
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!
