Quilters
The quilters at OSLC are a very special group who put their hearts and hands into making quilts for those in need. In the past they have donated hundreds of quilts to Lutheran World Relief, to the WIC program, Union Gospel Mission and to the Life Care Center. They also present quilts to all of the graduating seniors at Our Savior’s as well as at each baptism that takes place at Our Savior’s. Three groups of quilters meet at the church: Morning Quilters, Mission Quilters, Piecemakers (Evening Quilters)
