Crafting for Christ




The Lutheran Women in Mission of the Capitol Zone were busy at their Crafting for Christ event. They were preparing for the Mission Service event at the Texas District Convention in June. Sheets were torn into strips to roll bandages for Global Health Ministries and to prepare materials to make journals for young ladies. Other ladies did cards for Phil's Friends. There were 24 ladies present, and we thank each one for her help.
