Mothers Day

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,

Just a reminder that there is still time to send in your information to Pat.  Normally we receive a pretty good response but with no worship services on Sunday, when most folks turn this in, not many requests have been returned this year.

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

WELCA needs your help

/in , , , /by

Jane Potter, Shirley Ebert, Roz Eckardt, Cherie Brown, Bobbi Metz, Kim Hill, and Nancy Korn currently work on quilts for Lutheran World Relief. There have been 26 more quilts made that will the total number of quilts made by the Holy Trinity Quilters to 398.
The 26 quilts that we dedicated last March 2019 were shipped to Tanzania in September. LWR shipped 333,405 quilts worldwide. Quilts are the most requested item by LWR partner agencies.
If you would like to make a donation to cover the cost of shipping the quilts to Maryland (approximately $6 per quilt) currently, please send your check to the church office and designate it for quilt shipping.
You may also donate to the Lutheran World Relief Quilt and Kit Shipping Fund at lwr.org/donate/shipping fund to support shipping quilts from the warehouse to countries overseas ($2.25 per quilt).
National Quilting Day was March 21, 2020 and marked 75 years of comforting the world with quilts. In 1945, by the end of the Second World War, an estimated one-fifth of the world’s Lutherans were left homeless. That same year, Lutheran churches in at least 20 states mobilized to help in Europe through a new agency called Lutheran World Relief. It was also the year that the first LWR Mission Quilts reached families in war-torn Europe. Within a decade, quilts and kits were reaching struggling neighbors across the globe. Today, the Quilt and Kit Ministry is LWR’s longest running program.
