St. David's Quilt Patch Makes a Statement at Maritime Conference

Sisters, Julia MacKinnon and Margie Proctor, show off their handiwork. They designed and made this quilt patch on behalf of St. David's congregation for the Maritime Conference held in Sackville in May.

One of the symbols used this year during one of the worship services was a 'patch work quilt' assembled from all of the two foot squares sent by congregations. Each congregation was asked to to depict one of the following: your church as it was in the past, as it is now or how you see yourself in the future.This was an attempt to tell the story of our churches and our faith. 

St. David's was chosen to depict 'the present' and the following was presented along with the quilt patch.

We Have This Ministry:
          of wonderful music,
          of children participating and really feeling a part of the church,
          of sharing and helping the less fortunate,
          of caring for each other,
          of being a welcoming church.
Members are indebted to Julia and Margie for the fantastic job they did on our behalf. Well done and many thanks.
