Quilting Questions
It is a Trinity Ministry that has been happen-
ing for decades. People have donated
clothes, material, money and time to make
quilts that have been donated to Lutheran
World Relief, Rockford Rescue Mission, Voic-
es, recipients of Durand Ecumenical Council
Thanksgiving Baskets, and more. Some
quilts were sold to help finance more quilts
and other projects the quilters chose. Quilt
makers have come and gone and we are in
the process of looking at the current pro-
gram. Currently we meet on the third Mon-
day of the month at 8:30 a.m. The number
of quilters has become smaller and we want
to hear from the congregation about their
thoughts on the program. Would you let us
know if you believe the program should con-
tinue – at the same time, at a different time?
Would having a ‘quilt day’ two or three
times a year instead of monthly be better for
getting people out to make quilts? We could
plan a ‘come when you can’ between 9:00
a.m. and 2:00 p.m., serve lunch, and make
lots of quilts. We would welcome men and
boys to help make the quilts. We know
many churches have quilt days just for men
and boys! All you need to know is how to tie
a knot.
Think about how important the quilts are
to people around the world. Consider if
you could help make them. Let Judy Norling
or Mary Nuss know your thoughts on this
important ministry. We still have lots of
quilt tops made that need to be turned
into quilts.
It’s official! The ladies have met and a
new group has been born......we are
TAG²
Which stands for
Trinity Action Gals,
Touching All Generations!
We enjoyed breakfast, mingling,
and brainstorming! We decided that
we will meet in the even months, on
the 2nd Saturday of the month, unless
we have special outings or a conflict
with the church calendar. Due to the
Rock Run cemetery clean up day on
the 14th, our next meeting will be April
21 at 9:00 a.m. Please come dressed
in “old” clothes that you don’t mind
getting paint on because it could get
messy!! ......Bring Your Own Pot
to Paint. Paints and brushes will be
provided to decorate your flower pot,
but please feel free to bring any of
your favorites!! If you don’t want to
paint, please still come to mingle with
the gals. Also, if you need any help
getting a pot, please contact Paula Rau
or Mary Nuss. Any questions, let us
know. Thanks so much!
