LWM Women's Ministry

In the time-honored tradition of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) doing business as Lutheran Women in Mission (LWM), LWM Women’s Ministry was formed this year with a new-and-improved outreach to ALL women in our congregation, with no membership requirements.  We seek to develop and maintain a greater mission consciousness among women of the LCMS through education, inspiration, and service.

Our Purpose

• Inspire and equip women to share their faith in Jesus Christ, their loving Savior
• Be enriched through Bible study and fellowship
• Minister to others using our God-given talents inside and outside of our Church community

Mites and Missions

Our major emphasis continues to be the support of mission and ministry throughout the world by means of Mite Box offerings.  These Mite Box offerings have funded tens of millions of dollars in national and district mission grants since the organization’s inception in 1942.

Based on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite, the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of mite offerings above and beyond the support given to our congregation.  Mite Box contributions as well as our yearly fundraisers fund our mission grants and implement our programs world-wide.  Local grant recipients for the 2011-2012 year include Bethesda Thrift Store, Bibles for our school and Sunday School third graders, Feed My Starving Children, Hmong Center at Concordia, Kenya Children’s Fund, Meals on Wheels, and Scholarship for Women’s Bible Study materials, totaling over $1500. 

LWM Women's Ministry Calendar of Events

Information is contained in the 2011-2012 Program Brochure with specific details provided in monthly church newsletters and bulletins.  All women are welcome to attend one, two, or all of the events. We hope you’ll come…and bring a friend!
