Being the tiniest unit in the vast Fort Walton Beach Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not keep their members from performing huge acts of service. With an active membership of just over one dozen, four ladies in the Paxton Branch took up the slack and stitched and sewed until they had created fifteen lovely quilts.
After member Nadine Brassel donated the material the members of the women’s Relief Society decided they would do this project to benefit the members of the Florala Health Care and Rehabilitation LLC. The ladies met four times for nearly two hours each and saw their project completed and delivered to the delighted patients.
QUILT DONATION - pictured are Loni Coleman and Christianne Snyder.
Relief Society president Christiane Snyder and her councilor Loni Coleman said, “It was such a good feeling to see the faces of those receiving the quilts. They put them on at once and their smiles were something to see.” Grace Harris and Nell Peebles were the rest of the team of amazing quilters. These ladies from the Paxton Branch are living up to their banner quote on their website which includes the words, “Succor the weak.”
The members of the Florala Branch will join the entire Fort Walton Stake in the second annual Day of Service in the southeast on April 24.
