Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry - Chapter 163
November 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Prayers & Squares Chapter 163 at ULC. It is amazing that more than 2,500 recipients have been wrapped in prayer quilts, Quilts of Valor, high school graduation quilts and more. Many Lutheran World Relief quilts and sewing kits have been sent on their way to various countries in addition to the Afghan refugees who now make their home here in the Lansing area, and thanks to Loran Bieber and others, many sewing machines have been reconditioned and given to them as well.
Last Fall the Prayers & Squares ladies packed 100 school kits made by Ellie Korrach for Lutheran World Relief (LWR). She has been busy this summer sewing wonderfully creative backpacks that will need to be filled with school supplies. We are requesting monetary gifts to allow us to purchase the items LWR stipulates be included in each backpack. Please indicate “Prayers & Squares School Kits” on your check or online donation. Thank you for helping us continue the ULC tradition of strong support for this project.
We meet on Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you are unable to join us, we have kits ready to be taken home for completion, and often, fabric that needs to be washed and ironed. Many quilts are in progress thanks to those who worked from home this summer. We have quilts ready to be given to folks who need our prayers and comfort.
Please contact Bobbie Davis or Ann Booren if you know of someone who needs a prayer quilt. You are welcome to choose a special quilt for them.

Quilts for Afhgan Refugees
Fifty quilts displayed and blessed on September 7, 2021 before they were sent to Catholic social services and Lutheran social services, to be distributed to some 350 Afghan refugees passing through Lansing. Thank you to our quilting ladies who have spent the pandemic sewing every week at church and in between at home. They are truly doing God’s work, with their hands. We often think “what can I do as one person,” but look at the power of a bunch of dedicated ladies and what they were able to accomplish. Blessings to the quilters and those who will be warmed by their quilt as they are wrapped in love.
