I went to my first Quilter's Jamboree at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club yesterday with 12 other Prayers and Squares members from my church, Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church of Ramona. 24 San Diego Lutheran churches were represented at the even. Each group was given a table to display their work in photos, quilts and even pajamas. As we entered, we were given a passport with 24 boxes on it. As we visited each table, we stamped our passports at that table. The passports then went into a drawing for gift certificates and goodies.

Another group works on Project Linus - We Blanket San Diego and provide quilts for local hospitalsand county agenciew. Another group of women make patriotic quilts for the military. Still another has a program that focuses on staying connected with their Lutheran youth as they grow.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans puts on this event every year. It is a wonderful way to see what the other women's ministries are doing in San Diego. We had a wonderful lunch served to us. And we heard a brief story from each of the churches about their program.

It was an amazing experience to be around that many generous and like-minded women. God is good.
