Comfort & Joy Quilt Ministries
The Comfort and Joy Quilt Ministries is an opportunity to turn your hobby into a moment of COMFORT AND JOY to those in need. Even if you don't quilt yet but want to learn, are a novice but do it with joy, or just want to help out, we would love to have your willing hands and heart. We provide a handmade quilt to those hurting, within our congregation and in the greater community. Whether it be physically, spiritually, and emotionally, we want those hurting to know they are loved and supported by the church family. All materials except thread will be provided. Sew on your own at home or together at church with other creative minds. Basic sewing skills and a joyful spirit are all that is needed.

Thoughts on the Rocks Men’s Ministry
Thoughts on the Rocks (ToTR) is one of three strategic offerings of the Insignia Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit organization, founded with the faith-based mission of helping people become a better version of themselves. ToTR is founded to combat the myth that men don’t typically “go deep.” The truth is that real men actually do want to go deep. They just don’t tend to want to be the leaders of it. So Thoughts on the Rocks was formed to facilitate men going deeper through happy hours, discussions, small groups and trips. There is a touch point for every man looking for any level of commitment to get started going deeper with Thoughts on the Rocks. Learn more at ThoughtsOnTheRocks.com.
