Nativity Quilt Donation:i
Minnie Dienert and Linda Dettmann worked together to make the Nativity quilt set. It was their first attempt at this type of quilt, but working together, they finished it and donated it to Calvary Lutheran church. With the closing of Calvary, donating it to the Emmanuel United Church of Christ Church in Hankinson was a wonderful decision.
The Nativity quilt is a beautiful addition to EUCC’s Christmas decorations.
