Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry

Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry - Chapter 163

Prayers & Squares is an interfaith outreach organization that combines the gift of prayer with the gift of a hand-tied quilt. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is said for someone in special need, who then receives the finished quilt.

Quilters meet monthly on the second Tuesday and also on the fourth Saturday in Sept., Oct., Jan., Feb., March, and April from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm to construct the quilts. Everyone is welcome – from beginners to experienced quilters!

Even if you don’t sew, people are needed to cut and iron. There are many ways to help with or support this ministry.

COVID -19 Update: Work is being completed at home now, but we invite everyone to join us. Contact Ann Booren to learn more about our ministry.

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.
