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.

Wednesdays | Jul 10 – Aug 28 | 7-8:30PM | Bldg B, Conf Rm
