Everyone needs help sometime, and we all need some hope. Here at Inland Hills Church, we believe that the Church is the hope of the world, and we want to provide help and hope to you as you journey through life. Sometimes life hurts. And we’ve found that we don’t get to miss out on the pains of life just because we go to church. That’s why Care Ministry is here to help. Have questions about Care Groups? Contact Sharon Quezada.
Sew Blessed Prayer Quilters +
2nd & 4th Monday of each month | 3:00-9:00pm | Bldg B, Rm 101/102
This ministry features a group of volunteers who create special quilts for people in critical need of prayer. Thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers and the ends are left free to be tied in a knot. As each knot is tied, a prayer is offered for someone in need; then, the quilt is given to that person. Each week, there are prayer quilts awaiting your prayers at the Sew Blessed table following Sunday services. Please stop by the tables so that we are able to quickly get quilts to their recipients.
