The Piece Corps Ministry is a world-class volunteer program right here in our community that impacts lives all around the world! The Faith Lutheran Church Piece Corps Ministry actively participates in global outreach, in partnership with Lutheran World Relief. This vital ministry brings together approximately 30 members from the FLC congregation and the surrounding community members to make quilts, baby kits, and fabric kits for those in need around the world. These essential items are sent to people both locally and worldwide experiencing hardship, providing comfort and hope!
In 2024 alone this amazing group of volunteers made an incredible impact by making:
658 quilts
165 baby care kits
10 fabric kits
Over 100 quilts were distributed locally to those in need through organizations including Hannah House, Orenda Center, Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Stoney River. The remainder were shipped to over 20 countries worldwide.


Here are some ways you can get involved:
Donate cash to purchase materials on Faithmarshfield.com
Donate new batting

Thrivent members can select Faith Lutheran Church – Piece Corps for their Choice Dollars
Volunteer on Thursday mornings, no experience required. Will train on site.
