Quilts for Lutheran World Relief

The Holy Comforters quilting group 
at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
 in Springfield, Virginia 
works hard from Jan - April making quilts.
 This year it was 112 quilts for LWR 
and 40 children's quilts.

 In May-
traditionally on Mother's Day weekend,
they are draped across the backs of the pews
in the sanctuary.

There is something particularly 
cozy and welcoming on this weekend.
Even the spot for the pastor 
and worship helpers get a "draping."


They partner with Lutheran World Relief 
and 25:40
as organizations that distribute the quilts.


The quilts are prayed over and blessed
 before they are boxed for shipping.
Each one has been made 
with love and sent with love.


Some are for purchase to help
 defray the cost for batting and materials.

Thanks- Mary Lion for the hard work 
and organizing this group
 to make the world a bit brighter 
in many far away places!
