Ladies of the Love RoomMany years ago a group of ladies set up a former Sunday School room in the basement of the church for their quilting projects. There was sufficient space to set up sewing machines, cutting table, quilting table, and room for stacks of boxes of fabric, batting, etc.
Every Thursday morning from 9 AM to 11 AM there is activity going on in this basement room. They make baby and youth quilts that are taken to Ronald McDonald House in Billings and as many quilts as possible that are given to Lutheran World Relief. The fabric is donated. Sometimes old clothing is cut apart to make blocks. The ladies are creative with the fabrics they are given and quilts are beautiful as you can see by the pictures. During March and April the quilts are on display around the gym in the Education Building.

the Altar Guild Ladies Set up for Communion
|
Altar GuildEach Sunday and any other day of the year when there is a worship service this group of women is responsible for setting out the correct paraments, setting up for communion, decorating for a holiday, keeping the pews stocked with communion cards and cleaning up the communion cups after the service is over.
Memorial Donations Welcome This spring the ladies in the Altar Guild took inventory of the paraments (the cloth covers on the altar, pulpit and lecture) and suggested that we begin working to replace some of them. The green set used during Pentecost, the longest season of the church year, are the oldest and most worn. A couple of the other sets are looking tattered as well. A set can cost over $1,000. These are made from a heavier damask cloth and embroidered with the symbol of the season. Donations can be designated to the Altar Guild which will help in purchasing supplies, such as the oil used in the candles. |
Prayer Shawl Fellowship
Several ladies contribute to this ministry by crocheting shawls and blankets, as there is a continuous need for blankets for men, women, children and babies. We give a blanket to each person who is baptized and a shawl to anyone encountering an extended recovery time. Blankets can be knitted, crocheted, quilted or made from fleece.
Guidelines for sizes are:
Knitted or crocheted: 50-60 cast on stitches and about 60 -70 inches long for adults
For children, 28-30 inches wide and 30-36 inches long
We appreciate the time and effort of those who provide these blankets. If you have a blanket to contribute, please leave it at the church office. Also, if you are aware of a need of this gift, please contact the office.
