Quilt Benefit for Tomorrow First

Beautiful handmade quilts, a piece of history, and a chance to care for the whole church. Join us for the Quilt Benefit on Sunday, November 15 in the Serve Center, before and between both worship services.

The Sew Group, with the blessing of our United Methodist Women, has been sewing all year. They will offer quilts and throws from baby and crib up through twin, double, and queen, plus smaller sewn items, each priced and ready to take home. Come early, browse, and find a keepsake or a gift.

The morning also features a silent auction for a special piece: a vintage Dresden Plate quilt sewn from 1930s-era fabrics, measuring 64 by 84 inches. The plate pieces came to us as orphan blocks donated by Manelia Stephenson, with no record of who first stitched them. Sheryl Messenger assembled the quilt, and Sheryl, Dee Johnson, Carol Luckey, and Karen Stewart hand quilted it over more than 200 hours. Bidding opened Sunday, November 8 at 8:00 AM and closes at 11:30 AM on November 15. The Sew Group will contact the winning bidder.

Your purchases and winning bids go to Tomorrow First, our capital campaign replacing and upgrading heating and cooling across the building. Please make checks payable to McPherson First United Methodist Church, marked Tomorrow First.

All are welcome. Bring a friend, and help us care for the place where we worship together.
