***************************************************
​A QUILTER

A quilter brings us comfort, on the chilliest of nights,
With unseen hands she tucks us in and softly dims the lights.

What many others may throw away, she knows what she can use.
She brings together every square, arranging varied hues.
With simple needle and mere thread, and batts without a form,
She sews each piece with tender love to keep us snug and warm.
The Lord has helped her understand the value of things old.
She swaddles us in memories, each precious to behold.

                                                                                   Anonymous

Previous Activities:

Do you need a part-time job?  There are openings for assembling Lutheran World Relief quilts.  No experience required, but you must work on Wednesday mornings.  The hours are the best you will ever find, any time after 8:30 a.m. and quitting time is whenever you have to leave.  We do encourage you to be on the job y 9:30 a.m. or you will miss coffee  break.  And it is the best coffee break ever -- it lasts as long as the conversation and laughter hold out, and there are no calories in the goodies as whoever brings them takes them all out.  The wages are poor -- in fact, nonexistent, but the fringe benefits are awesome.  You will never find a better way to combine fellowship and service.  So join us on any Wednesday and check out this great opportunity!  
Quilters meet here at Faith Lutheran Church on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. (or when you can arrive) during the school year.
Stay as long as you like .. be sure to stay for coffee, fellowship and lots of laughs.
All are invited!  You do not need to be an experienced quilter to join the Wednesday morning quilters.
Coffee time:  9:30 a.m.

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF QUILT SPEAK
How would you like to learn this new language?

I just have a top
Your middle doesn’t fit
Do you have a bottom?
Let’s go with a plain bottom
How’s your end?
Are you even?
My end is too long
Is it coffee time yet?
Do you have any wrinkles?
I’ll hold - you pull
I need my needle threaded
Just start in the middle
I need the pliers
Is it coffee time yet?
Push your side over
Ouch!
Are you bleeding?
I’m having trouble with my corners
We finished it
COFFEE’S READY!!!


GRADUATION QUILTS

As has been a tradition at Faith Lutheran Church for many years, the women of Faith honored 2015's graduates with handmade quilts and pillows to show support of their high school accomplishment during the graduation-Sunday worship service.
