Quilting Ministry at
St. Philip A. M. E.
Keeps Tradition Alive
Quilts made by St. Philip AME’s Quilting Ministry.
Once again, the con
gregation of the historic St.
Philip A. M. E Church, 613
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Blvd., has been inspired by
the creative products of the
church's quilting ministry.
This dedicated and motivat
ing quilting ministry that
uses the name “It's Not A
Quilt Until It's Quilted” is
under the leadership of
Valeria Chiles, who is affec
tionately called “Ms.
Teacher” by the participants
in the ministry.
According to Ms.
Chiles, the 2008 holiday dis
play reminds her of those
“make do” quilts of our
ancestors. “They encourage
us to keep the quilting tradi
tion alive for future genera
tions,” she said.

mit these deputies if we felt
that we could not adequately
meet the needs of the citizens
of our community.”
“This is an unbeliev
able opportunity to allow our
officers to see how a massive
integrated event is handled
by law enforcement. More
than 90 agencies will be
working together at the
event,” said Berkow. “In
addition, the federal govern
ment is covering all costs, so
being able to allow some of
our members to attend this
truly historic event is both a
pleasure and an honor.”
The group will leave
for Washington on Sunday,
January 18 in two buses
flanked by SCMPD Training
Vehicles. The group returns
directly after their tom of
duty is complete on
Wednesday evening.
“It is a tremendous
honor to be invited to work
