Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries volunteers and staff enjoy showering our Summer Ministry Team with lots of love in many ways each and every summer.
One way we show this love is through providing each of the summer staff with a pillowcase to use while at summer camp and then to take home with them after camp is over.
These pillowcases are used by the summer staff for their campers to sign each week and serve as a reminder of the lives they touched over the summer.
These Summer Ministry Team members love to receive the pillowcases, are proud to use them, and enjoy this special keepsake from camp.
Our volunteers this summer made 75 pillowcases to ensure each member of the Summer Ministry Team received a pattern of their choosing.
We have several volunteers that donate the fabric, cut the fabric, sew the pillowcases, and put the NLOM logo onto the pillowcases. We are grateful to Sharon Bossman, Pam List, Crystal Miller, and Kari Maser for their time and donating all the material for this project.
“I enjoy the connection that I feel to summer camp when I’m working on this special project,” Kari Maser shared. “It gives me a chance to think about the individuals that will be receiving the pillowcases and how it’ll be a special memento of their summer and the campers they serve.”
These ladies spent 10 hours each working on these pillowcases. It is a true labor of love, given to the camp with love sewn into each pillowcase.
