Threads of Love, through the effort and support of many participants in chapters across the country, provides clothing, blankets and other handmade articles for tiny premature and sick infants. We desire to show God's love to the parents and loved ones of these babies in their time of uncertainty. Perhaps those who are experiencing incomprehensible pain may know a peace and serenity that extends beyond the situation. We want to simply be there to bring the unsaid message of God's presence and His infinite love and compassion.

Perhaps those who are experiencing incomprehensible pain may know a peace and serenity that extends beyond the situation. We want to simply be there to bring the unsaid message of God's presence and His infinite love and compassion. As Christians, we are all given a gift and are expected to develop and use it to collectively support and comfort one another. Through all circumstances we serve God and He has been continually faithful, providing all the necessities of this ministry as it grows - chapter by chapter - to bring God's love and comfort to others. For premature or sick babies, Threads of Love Ministry provides: a packet containing a crocheted or knitted cap,day gown, blanket, lovie doll and a prayer for healing. When a parent is faced with the death of an infant through miscarriage, infant death or stillbirth, we reach out to them with a packet showing God's love through our sewing skills, silently saying, "You are loved." At this time, a packet is used containing a bonnet, dress, blanket and a prayer for healing of a broken heart. All items are made by volunteers. Materials and labor are donated by ladies who are part of the Threads of Love ministry, who show their love for the Lord by using their sewing talents in serving the Lord. Thanks so much for your interest in Threads of Love. Being a chapter is simple. You need to fill out a form to register as a Threads of Love chapter. A chapter can be made up of only one person or a very large group. If you or your group take a dozen outfits to the hospital each year, then that's more than they had last year. The main job is the contact person, who would help if someone wanted to join the group and would be in charge of taking finished items to the hospital. Bear in mind that as your chapter grows you may need one person to act as the contact person who is the liaison with our headquarters and with the hospitals and one person to act as the sewing chairman, who gets things together for the workshops. Your group should meet regularly, although not necessarily monthly. We like for each chapter to do what works for them. Some chapters meet each month and work as a group. Others meet each month to return finished items and pick up supplies to sew at home. There is one chapter that meets each week. We like for each group of ladies to handle their chapter in the way that works for that group. Simply download the application, fill it out, and mail to the address at the top of the application. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks again.
