LCBI's Take out Tuesday



Bethlehem Lutheran Church has been blessed by the help we get from Take Out Tuesday LCBI students. Last spring, some of the LCBI students helped us clean the old church, move sand in the crawl space, put up rafters and helped install the floor of the new church. Bryan, LCBI staff member, Luke, Bob, site supervisor and Luke sort and dispose of some of the debris left by our workers. (It's not a misprint: both LCBI students are Lukes!)Last year, a number of LCBI students helped us tie quilts. This year they came down to help sew buttons on night shirts, night gowns, sweaters and jackets which a number of ladies have sewn for layette items. Here LCBI staff member, Cindi, shows Lindsay how to sew on a button.

Stefie and Desi sew on buttons.


Alex takes great care in sewing on a button on a nightgown.



Maureen also helps sew and instruct LCBI students, Stefie, Desi, and Lindsay as they sew on buttons. Have you ever been to a "Button Party"?

Alex and Cindi with a lot of the finished items.

Lindsay hands Alex a shirt to pack in the layette. Each layette has 4 cloth diapers, 2 baby blankets, 2 washcloths, 2 nightshirts, 2 nightgowns, 2 safety pins, and 1 sweater. These are sent to third world countries and given out to young mothers.
Desi and Stefie pack up a layette for Lutheran World Relief.
