Women in Mission: LWML
Lutheran Women in Mission
Serve the Lord with gladness! Psalm 100:2
Lutheran Women in Mission assist each woman of the church in using her gifts of service to minister to the people of our congregation, community, and God's kingdom at large. This mission is accomplished through fellowship, Bible study, service projects, prayer, and offerings.
Proclaiming Christ
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all peoples!
Psalm 96:3
Supporting Missions
And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Mark 16:15
Equipping Women
Now may the God of peace ... equip you with everything good that you may do his will. Hebrews 13:20-21
Serving Others
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10a
Fellowship & Bible Study
An important part of the LWML is fellowship & Bible study. Women meet regularly in small groups called Circles, where women can come together to grow and support each other in their relationships with God and each other. Circles meet once a month September through May. Quilters meet twice a month throughout the year. To find a meeting time that fits your schedule, see the list below.

Offerings
Mites are a freely given offering for the purpose of reaching out to others with the Good News of Jesus Christ. LWML collects mites based on the biblical account of the widow's mite in Luke 21:1-4. Districts retain 75% of mite offerings for the work of the LWML at that level. National mites fund over $1 million in Mission Grants.
