Redeemer Lutheran Church’s Sow and Sew Group has been presenting hand made quilts to Graduating High School Seniors since 2009. The idea of the ministry came from one of the member’s home church in South Dakota. The group meets twice a month – begins with a short devotion or prayer for the recipients and then work on the quilts. Each graduating High School Senior is presented with a handmade quilt that they can take with them wherever the Lord takes them after high school. Each quilt has a label that reads “Made with Love and Prayers – Redeemer Lutheran Church, Westfield, NJ”
A small group of women have been visiting Cranford Park and Rehab, sharing the news of Jesus and singing favorite songs with the residents. We meet the first and third Wednesday at 3:00 PM. We would like to expand the group so the same people do not go every time. Please consider sharing your love of Jesus with these residents who really enjoy the visits. Men, women, young and not so young; all you need to give is about one hour for each visit. |
Days for Girls, International is globally working to shift how women and girls see themselves and are seen by their communities. They offer girls and women with new life choices through providing sustainable hygiene solutions, health education, and income-generation opportunities. A Team of volunteers, led by Karen Rinaldi, meet at Redeemer and work on the making of sustainable feminine hygiene kits. Our Team has dedicated all kits to be sent to Dr. Kristin Schmaltz in Guinea, West Africa. Dr. Schmaltz distributes the kits to the woman and girls in her immediate area and surrounding villages, as a part of her education program on Woman’s Health.
