Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML)
LWML NEWS by Nancy Blonski
Ladies in the congregation-you are automatically a member of the LWML. Free membership! How exciting! Something that is free, but yet so much fun and rewarding!
For those ladies not familiar with Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is the official women’s auxiliary of the LCMS. The group has focused on affirming each woman’s relationship with Christ, encouraging and equipping women to live out their Christian lives in active mission ministries and to support global missions. We do this by meeting quarterly, attending rallies, and other events at our church. We also can assist the other groups, Women’s Guild or Ladies’ Aid when needed for service projects and for funeral lunches/dinners. We serve because He first loved us and fellowship with our sisters’ in Christ is the best! We welcome all of you to join us at our quarterly meetings as well as other events.
Thank you to the ladies who joined us on Sunday for our quarterly meeting. What a great meeting with our sisters in Christ. Thank you to Lindy, Ina and Darlene for hosting. God is good!
On July 8, many joined us at Helen’s for a summer picnic! What a great time we had with over 45
ladies! Thank you Helen for hosting such a fantastic party!
On Sunday, September 16, eleven of our members met at Bethany in Gurnee for the Fall Workshop. The focus on the workshop was on the PADS ministry and the ladies made 9 large fleece blankets. The ladies also made scripture bookmarks and 96 witness bracelets were made for the MOST ministries. Our ladies from St. Matthew contributed 37 witness bracelets, 23 witness necklaces, 61 finger puppets, 31 eye glass cases, and an abundance of trial size toiletries.
Redeemer in Waukegan will be serving the Great Lakes Naval Recruits for Thanksgiving. We will be sending pies as our contribution. If you wish to donate, please contact me. We are continuing to collect foreign stamps, Portal of Prayer Devotion Booklets, and toiletries.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
· Sunday, December 9 - ALL women are invited to a Christmas Luncheon after late service at Oregano’s on Gilmer Road. Please RSVP by November 25th.
