First Lutheran Quilters
A quilt is special! Lutheran World Relief explains a quilt brings warmth on a cold night, shelter from the sun on a hot day. It becomes a bed, a room divider, a backpack to carry belongings, and at times even a home. Each quilt is one of a kind, with a beauty all its own, made as a gift of hope by caring people. Quilts distributed by LWR to refugees and other people in need.The First Lutheran quilt group meets the 4th Thursday of each month at 9:00 am January to October. If you are interested in being a part of this group, click here or call the church office at 488-0919.

Keeping God's People In Stitches
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
This intergenerational group of faith minded individuals get together to knit, crochet, cross stitch and any kind of stitch. Gathering time always starts with prayer and a verse or two from the Bible, sharing projects and then it's time to go to work.
This is a fantastic opportunity for fellowship, creativity, syneregy, and is such an incredible opportunity to come together and create something and share the love of this church family. Projects include: Prayer shawls, afghans for First Lutheran graduates and hats and gloves to clothe the needy.
We have people who are willing to learn and teach; as well as persons of all ages. We welcome donations, visitors and prayer requests. Program coordinator is Jan Mares.
The group meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month, 7:00-8:30 pm at the church. You are welcome to come at any time!
