The Immanuel Lutheran Church Quilters, a support ministry of Women in Ministry, is an all-women’s group whose goal is to give comfort to individuals who are suffering and their families. They meet on 1st and 3rd (and sometimes 5th) Wednesdays during the months of Sept. – Nov. and Jan. – May, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Fellowship Hall. Once quilts have been constructed and sewn, the quilters attach a card to identify Immanuel as well as a Bible verse for the recipient’s encouragement. Quilts are then taken to recipients at Joy House, the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, Froedtert Hospital, and the Salvation Army. Contact Fritzy Eggold for more information. |

Immanuel members work in collaboration with Lutheran Social Services to sponsor refugee families from around the world.

This involves assistance with housing, jobs, and transportation as families settle in the United States. LSS is currently looking for ministers to care for arriving Burmese refugee families. Contact Susan Klagmann or Lutheran Social Services for more information. |
