Messiah Comforters
Coordinator: Annette Joens
Much of the work is done to support Lutheran World Relief’s Mission Quilt ministry but also to others in need of a warm blanket, a lap robe or a prayer shawl.
Anyone can become a comfort maker or lap robe maker. It is not necessary to know how to sew. We can find a spot for anyone. Prayer shawls are crocheted. Volunteers can come and help as for as little or as long as you like on Tuesday morning.
