Jesus First, Others Next, Yourself Last

JOY Quilters

   A charter member of Community Bible Church, Ellie Gross and her friend Darlene Williams, started the Joy Quilters in 2000. Ellie had moved to Minnesota and needed something to fill her spare time. The two women worked back and forth, between Ohio and Minnesota, to make baby quilts for needy children.

 Ellie’s heart was always for under privileged children and many have benefited from that love. Upon moving back to Ohio, Ellie and Darlene, along with many others, continued to make baby quilts for missionaries to take to foreign lands. Also providing to crisis centers, pregnancy centers, and homeless shelters. In fact, one year 300 baby quilts were sent to Uganda.

The Joy quilters today still strive to follow God’s direction. A heart is attached to each quilt that reads “Wrapped In Jesus Love” John 3:16.  We are currently providing baby quilts and swaddling blankets to ‘Pathway To Hope’ a Christian pregnancy center in Hamilton, Ohio. Last year we provided them with over 100 baby quilts and 30 swaddling blankets for deserving babies and toddlers.

We would like to thank Community Bible Church for their continued support.
