Quilts, Dresses and Kits Blessing Weekend
October 4th and 5th during worship
On Saturday and Sunday, October 4th and 5th, St. Mark’s will celebrate a favorite tradition! It will be our Quilts, Dresses and Kits Blessing Weekend. Our sanctuary will be transformed as we drape the pews with our quilts and display our baby care kits. We will bless 104 quilts, 37 baby care kits, 16 dresses, and 166 personal care kits. The personal care kits were put together on Rally Day, by the congregation, who had generously donated towels, toothbrushes, combs, soap, and clippers during the month of August. About 60 dresses have already been sent around the world.
After service, enjoy some cookies baked by Lydia’s Piecemakers and consider making a free will offering to help cover the cost of shipping incurred by Luther World Relief, as they send the quilts and kits wherever they are needed. (Stop by and examine the map in the Narthex that shows where the quilts and kits were sent during 2024.)
