Social Ministries-Quilters

January Quilt Raffle

Very appropriate for January, the quilt this month is a snowflake quilt crafted and donated by Joann Adamson and quilted by Eileen Allen. $5.00 per ticket will give you a chance to own this beautiful quilt. Tickets are available after the service in Luther Hall or are available in the church office. The winning ticket will be drawn on January 25th. All proceeds from the raffle will benefit the local homeless shelters in our area.

 

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!
