Lutheran World Relief Sewing

Another year is over for our LWR sewing group. The quilts and kits were taken on Oct. 4th to Faith Lutheran Church in Whitehall.
From there, they are taken, by truck to Springfield where they are added to the ones made by all the Lutheran Church groups in Ohio. From there they will be taken to a LWR warehouse in New Windsor, MD.
Thanks to Don and Ruth McQuay for once more, taking them to Whitehall. We packed 78 quilts, 8 health kits, and 18 bars of soap.
This will be my last year as coordinator of the sewing group. Can’t remember when I started. Ruth Wiechman has said “yes” to taking over the group.
This has been a most enjoyable activity and a project that I believe strongly in supporting.
I will continue to be active as long as I can fell that I am useful.
I want to publicly thank those that worked this year:
Virginia South, Marie Kaderly, Beth Brown, Jean Hank (our artist with material), Dorothy Pressler, Ruth McQuay, Ruth Wiechman, Frieda Riebel, and Ruth Hunter.
We are sorry that Frieda and Ruth will be leaving our group. We’ll miss them. They were a real team at putting quilts together.
We are happy to welcome KayLynn Kennedy Seaver into our group.
Consider joining us, we need more help. We meet the 1st Thursday and 3rd Monday of the month, from 9-11:30 a.m. You would not have to commit to each time. Any time would be appreciated.
Thanks to the congregation for all the support we have had from you each year.
Happy moments, praise God!
Difficult moments, worship God!
Painful moments, trust God!
Every moment, thank God!
