Emmanuel Ladies Missions Society (ELMS)

Mission Statement

Be obedient to God, with an attitude of service, an open heart, helping hands and with the love of Jesus guiding and directing us through all our efforts.

Mission Verses

In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself.                                    James 2:17

Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.                      1 John 3:18

Homeless Mats

The ladies made  mats by cutting and looping plastic grocery bags into plarn. Plarn is used to crochet the mats. Each mat takes about 500 to 600 plastic bags.

Thank you Kim who worked to crochet this mat together. There is a lot of work and time put in, to make a mat. 

Thank you Rock Falls Police Department for taking the homeless mats. Thank you to Officer Nolte and Sgt. McKanna for collecting the mats.
