Mission Quilts – Women’s Ministries
|
JOIN OUR QUILT GROUP!
1st, 3rd and 5th Mondays (Sept-mid May) 9:30-11:30 am If you can use a needle and/or scissors, we need you! VPC Mission Quilts started many years ago and was originally referred to as ABC Quilts, which was a nationwide effort to make and give baby quilts to mothers who had little or nothing in the way of clothes for babies.
Our mission aim is to target any child, baby, or person in need of the warmth of Jesus wrapped around them. We do so by donating quilts mainly to Casa Vida Nueva, MX, Continental Medical Center, St. Andrews Clinic, Nogales, Holy Cross Hospital, Nogales, Banner University Medical Center, Diamond Children’s Center, Project Linus, Aviva Children’s Services and Wounded Warrior Summer Camp. Much love goes into the making of each quilt as it is passed from one set of hands to another until many hands have handled the quilt to its completion. The monies received from the Mission Committee are used to supply needed items, such as, material, thread, sewing machine repairs, and batting. |

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
VPC Mission Quilters meet on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Monday, from September through mid-May, starting at 9:00 am with the last person leaving by 2:00 pm. Those volunteers able to stay the entire day usually bring something to eat around noon. Sometimes during a quilting session, we stop work and share in a pot-luck lunch.
We welcome anyone who wants to experience the joy of creating and giving to those in need to be a part of our quilting family. Our faithful quilters consist of full-time residents and snowbird members, nonmember attendees, and friends outside of our church. Our goal, besides making quilts, is to always enjoy each other.
