Here is a note from the Chile Team who took our burp cloths in June.

"The church was very pleased to receive the beautiful burp cloths. We didn't make any hospital visits, but they will definitely use them in their local ministry and outreach projects. Attached is a photo of 3 of our team members and two church leaders exclaiming joy over the burp cloths.

Many thanks to you and all the members of the Burp Ministry for sharing the gifts God gave you with the people of Chile."

With blessings to you,
John, Denee and Nick Parker and Team Chile

Teens Give Back

Mom's and daughters sewing together what a great way to give back. We made burp cloths for a PEACE missions trip going to Chile.

We are going to take a summer break in July and August. We will be back in full swing starting September, 27th.

BURP Volunteers are Grace-Givers!

How wonderful it is to be in the presence of those who radiate grace! That is what makes our BURP volunteers so special. They are Grace-Givers, they are so generous with their time and talents each month spending the extra moment to make a difference in a mom and baby's life by sewing, ironing or wrapping a burp cloth made with love.

"Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8
God's grace is freely given that we might freely give.

Bless you all
Lynda and Erin

Men Can HELP Too!

What a delightful sewing party we had in May. A small group from Saddleback Church joined us in making burp cloths for their upcoming PEACE ministry trip to Chili in June.

Denee, John & Nick, Doug & Lisa, thank you again for your team of super helpers that was so much fun having the men involved!! Who would have thought that they would be so good !

Nick was such a great ironer and John so precise at his cutting and Doug was a super packer and tied the bows with care. It was just a win win team!! anytime we would love to have them again.

A special thank you too to our other volunteer sewers and ironers we had 13 volunteers that day, 6 sewing machines, 44 burp cloths made in 3 hours. It was a record breaking party.

4-26-09, Sewing Ladies from the BURP Ministry made burp cloths for the Marine wives of Camp Pendleton, the 511 Group which is comprised of 3 artillery battalions: Romeo 511, Tango 511 and Sierra 511, have 600 men in this group. Of these 3 battalions 40 babies were born in the last several months. Moses baskets donated by another ministry at Saddleback church called the Military/Camp Pendleton Outreach of Saddleback Church asked us if we would sew burp cloths to be included in these beautiful baskets. Here is a note from the director;
“Thanks for taking the Military/Camp Pendleton Outreach on as a partner with your BURP ministry. Together we will share the love of Christ down there on base”.
Thx and Lord Bless,
Diane

Sewing Party -

The last Sunday of each month we have sewing parties where volunteers sew their little hearts out and make as many burp cloths they can in 3 hours. This Sunday the 26th will be our 3rd B.U.R.P sewing party, if you live in South Orange County and are interested in joining us please contact us - erin@babyurprecious.com. This time we will be sewing burp cloths for Casa Teresa, Camp Pendleton and Africa. Dont miss out on serving new mommies and their babies!

B.U.R.P (Baby U R Precious) gives back to Casa Teresa not only with 10% of their retail sales but with burp cloth donations. This is just one of the many precious recipients of lovingly made burp cloths. Casa Teresa provides a place for women who have chosen to keep their babies after birth or place them for adoption. B.U.R.P donates burp cloths on a bi-monthly basis.

March 2009 - 2nd sewing party

We had a small group of women at our last Burp Cloth sewing party ( 3-29-09) but they were real warriors and turned out an amazing 34 burp cloths. Just the amount we needed!
A special Thank you to our wonderful group of volunteer ladies. The burp cloths you made were beautiful and such a blessing to those that will receive them.

Thank you, Lynda Drake and Erin Riddle

February 2009 -1st official B.U.R.P sewing party -

If you don’t sew we have other opportunities that require no sewing. Like ironing, folding, wrapping, praying, donating all very important in making these sewing parties successful. If you have a friend or teenager that wants to get involved or learn to sew please join us and make a difference in the life of a new mom or grandma.
Women together making a difference one burp cloth at a time!

It all began with a passion to sew and create. Now that our daughter is grown, married and has a daughter of her own God orchestrated the perfect time for my daughter and I to partner together to fulfill this lifelong dream of a family business.
With the birth of our first granddaughter sewing burp cloths became a necessity and a fun thing to do for a “Grandma”! We had so much fun making, creating and giving burp cloths to new moms we thought it would be rewarding to have a ministry which would bring new moms together. I guess you would say, a God thing happened and “BURP” took on a new meaning…”Baby U R Precious” was born!
This is a mother and daughter endeavor of love and desire to leave a legacy to our children. Baby U R Precious the Boutique and the Burp Ministry have been serving moms since March, 2008.
Blessings,
Lynda, Erin and Rylynn
