The LWML group called Helping Hands at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Aurora, gets together every first Tuesday of the month to make little dresses for girls out of used pillow cases. I have had the honor of carrying these gifts to the girls who live in the garbage dump of Zacapa, Guatemala. We are the body of Christ with different functions which we demonstrate with the gifts God has given us. To him be the glory and not to us.
If you have any old pillow cases that are in good condition you too can help clothe a child in Guatemala or other part of the world by donating it to our congregation. Pray for these children. We cannot solve all the problems in the world, but we can each do a part and together we will do much.
Rebeca’s sister, Hilda, receives dresses from her daughter Rebeca on the truck to hand out to the children.
