Please express your interest to Trudy Disslehorst at Sunday service or come visit on a Wednesday morning. If you know someone deserving or in need of a "prayer" quilt, please contact Trudy.     Quilts for the World Bethlehem Women’s “Scraps & Prayers” quilters participate in Lutheran World Relief’s (LWR) Project Comfort. Every Wednesday morning they meet in the Multi-Use Room at Bethlehem Lutheran Church to lay out and “tie” quilts for Lutheran World Relief and the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Pendleton. We also make baby quilts from the left over flannel from the PJ project and we make school bags for distribution through LWR and through local organizations. (Everyone is welcome to join in ‘as able.’) A LWR quilt is special! It brings warmth on a cold night and 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. Last year LWR distributed 452,870 quilts to their ‘overseas partners.’ It costs $2 per quilt for shipping. Each fall (middle to late September) our Bethlehem Lutheran Churchunit displays the quilts in church. They can be purchased to help defray the shipping expenses LWR incurs. Last year the quilters at Bethlehem Lutheran church sent 15 quilts to LWR for distribution, raised $750 to help defray shipping costs incurred by LWR through the sales of quilts mentioned above, helped local fire victims with both large and baby quilts, took 18 quilts to the Wounded Warrior Battalion, made 5 Prayer quilts, made 32 baby quilts which were given to the Children and Women’s Health Center in Encinitas as well as local military families and sewed 60 school bags and filled them with school supplies. Scraps & Prayers also participates in Bethlehem’s Fall Harvest Festival at the church and will offer ‘special’ quilts and ‘special baby quilts and pajamas’ for sale to support our various programs including the PJ project, Quilts for Soldiers and other programs supported by the Bethlehem Women of the ELCA.
