Members of the Trinity Lutheran Church congregation display the quilt the Point Roberts Quilters made them to support the church's children's summer music camp, a free weeklong music camp for kids age 7-12.

Raffle tickets for the quilt will be sold throughout the spring and summer, and the quilt drawing will be held after the annual children's musical during the Arts and Music Festival at Lighthouse Marine Park.

The Trinity Chamber Concert Series, also a camp fundraiser, kicks off this weekend with a performance by the Point Roberts Wind Quintet this Sunday, March 23. The next concert in the series will be UBC's Brenda Fedoruk's Capilano Flute Choir on Sunday, April 13 at 3 p.m.
