Ongoing Ministry/Outreach
Prayer Team

Welcoming Team
TELC formed a Prayer Team in 2011. The purpose of the Prayer Team is to accept requests for prayer from people and to lift them up to God. We ask God to hear our prayers and to work His
will in all requests.
Kathy Holroyd is the contact person for the Prayer Team. Call her at 330-9335 and she will pray and pass the concern on to the ten other people on the Chain.
You may also submit a prayer request for this team by using one of the Prayer Cards in the pews and then placing it in the Prayer Chain box in the narthex.
Please know that all prayer concerns are kept confidential within the team.
Prayer is a vital link in our relationship with God. Please feel free to reach out to this ministry.

Little Dresses For Africa /Crafty Disciples
Little Dresses For Africa /Crafty Disciples started working together 5 years ago meeting periodically to sew Little Dresses for Africa through Lutheran World Relief. In the beginning only 4 or 5 women were involved. Since the fall of 2017 we have been meeting the 3rd Saturday of every month and as you can see we have expanded in not only the amount of women in attendance and what we are able to accomplish. The Little Dresses project continues but also we have added the projects of creating bears to be given by Frontier Pioneers to each child upon their admittance to Golisano Children's Hospital and also a group of women who love to quilt have joined us to make quilts, blankets and lap robes to be donated locally to Hospice Homes and Veteran's residences.
