Lord's Acre benefits the church
WOLFSVILLE ? Delores Myers shows off the green and white 'Pine Tree' quilt she made, which was auctioned for $1,425 at Salem UMC?s 47th annual Lord?s Acre Festival Sept. 9. The Lord?s Acre program was developed as a means for small churches to raise funds. A portion or 'acre' of a church member?s land was set aside to raise crops to be sold to benefit the church. Those without land could set aside a portion of their needlework, craft items or other saleable goods or talents. The funds from this year?s Lord?s Acre benefited the church?s building and improvement fund.
