St. John's Lutheran Women Community Outreach


We put our faith into action by making items for local nursing homes, assisted living faclities,
sewing infant dresses, blankets for local hospitals, and Hospice, and meeting other community needs as they arise.

We have three sewing groups.

  • Lutheran Women Sewing Circle - Meets every Monday of each month at 9:30 AM at the church. Makes bibs, lap robes and walker pockets for Bay View Manor and River Oaks Residential Care residents, as well as quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Coordinator is Eve Roane.
  • Martha's Animals - Meets the third Thursday of each month at 9:30 AM at the church. Makes stuffed animals for young patients in Beaufort Memorial Hospital's Emergency Room. Coordinator is Doti Wilson.
  • Infant Projects Home Sewers - Members work individually in their own homes. Make smocked gowns and blankets for still born babies, This is a project for Beaufort Memorial Hosptial. Coordinator is Norma Murdaugh.

    The women who participate in the Home Sewers group work individually in their own homes making smocked gowns and blankets with crocheted edging for the Beaufort Memorial Newborn Nursery. The nurses appreciate having pretty gowns and blankets in which to dress and wrap stillborn infants for the difficult and emotional moments the parents spend with their baby after delivery. The parents keep the gowns and blankets as mementos or use them for the infant's burial. Among our workers are - Leola Fanning, Shelby Berry, and Norma Murdaugh smock, while Betty Pfister crochets, and Joan Burke and Martha Christian do the finishing work. All of these women have taken an active part in this outreach for many years
