Happy Anniversary Prayers &
Squares Quilt Ministry!

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the St. Bartholomew’s Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry, and we want to celebrate with you! Join us at all services November 3-4, where each attendee will leave with proof that you can touch a prayer! It is our way to express our appreciation for everyone who has embraced and supported this powerful ministry.

Our Story:

In 1998, four ladies combined their belief in prayer with their love of quilting and the St. Bart’s Chapter of Prayers & Squares International Quilt Ministry was born. This ecumenical outreach ministry was formed to provide outward and visible signs of prayer for those in need. Each tie in a hand-made quilt represents specific prayers offered for the recipient. Our motto: “it’s not about the quilt, it’s all about the prayers”.

Two of our first few recipients were Cameron McAfee and Brittney Stark. It provided our parish family a way to express our faith in God and His power to protect, strengthen, comfort, and heal. Today, our ministry has given approximately 2,200 quilts distributed locally, sent across the country, and around the globe.

Prayer quilts have been made for sick babies, they have comforted the grieving and the terminally ill, brought hope to Cancer and AIDS patients, and people facing surgery or difficult life challenges. They have warmed the hearts of Military troops far from home and have even been given in thanksgiving for service to others. There is never a charge for the quilts.

Thanks be to God for all of you, our very supportive parish family, for the past 20 years! This ministry would not be possible without your donations, your quilt requests, your prayers, and the quilters who dedicate themselves, their time, and their talent. You are helping us spread prayer one quilt at a time! Never doubt the power of prayer-it is limitless!

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24
