Threads of LoveA ministry to parents experiencing premature birth or perinatal loss
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart:"
Jeremiah 1:5
Born too soon !Shane (baby in incubator) born at 26 weeks, weighing 2 lb. 3 oz.
The goal of Threads of Love is to demonstrate God’s love by giving a measure of comfort to the parents and families of newborns in crisis. We do this by providing tiny garments for very premature babies and simple burial gowns for those who do not win the battle to survive.
What we do?Once a month we get together to cut, sew, iron, attach labels and package the items we make. Some make daygowns and burial gowns, some make knitted or crocheted hats and some make little dolls, called "Lovie Dolls", that are placed in the isolettes with the babies.
How can I help?Everyone is welcome to be part of this ministry. There are several ways to be involved:
1. Pray for the ministry and for the families we are seeking to serve.
2. Come join us at the workshops held the second Thursday of the month from 9:30 am - 2:00 pm in the Azalea room at FBCA, or work at home to make the little gowns and hats. Whether or not you sew, we can use your help.
3. Threads of Love ministry is supported only through donations. A gift in any amount is much appreciated. Contact the church office at 770.475.6556 or email info@fbca.com for information.
