A quilt ministry group from First United Methodist Church in Vernon, Texas completed a prayer quilt for Charlie Renfro which was presented to him Friday. Charlie is six-years-old and recently underwent proton and chemo treatments for six weeks in Jacksonville, Florida as he battles a brain tumor. He is now back in the first grade at the primary school. Each person at the church tied a knot on threads on the quilt and prayed for Charlie before sending the quilt. The church found out about Charlie’s plight from a friend of Lynda Brutz. Charlie’s quilt was the 274th made by the Prayers and Squares quilt ministry at the church. A benefit account has been set up at United Bank – Charlie’s Fund – to help with staggering medical costs. There are also cans collecting change at stores around town.
