Today, our church honored our U.S. Veterans! Beautiful hand made Quilts of Valor were given to our veterans and they were shown love and appreciation for their service to our country. The quilts provide a special meaning. It was explained that each quilt has three layers. Layer one represents community. The middle layer is the batting, it represents warmth, comfort and healing. The backing represents strength supporting the layers - the support of the vet, the community and family. Each stitch represents the love, gratitude and tears put into it and holds it all together.
"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.“
Philippians 2:4
To all our dear veterans- Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Thank you to all those who worked to put together this beautiful service and to those who crafted the lovely quilts.
Thank you also to Kevin Henthorn of Knox County Veterans Services for sharing words of encouragement.
