Our Ladies’ Guild/LWML (Lutheran Women in Mission) will observe LWML Sunday on October 18th/19th.

 The focus is on Supporting Missions from the LWML Mission statement. 

LWML began in July of 1942 when 100 LCMS women from around the country met at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Chicago. Their goal was to join together all the women’s groups in supporting mission work to: 1) develop and maintain a greater mission consciousness through mission education, mission inspiration, and mission service; and 2) gather funds (Mites) for mission projects sponsored by LCMS. 

The “Mite Box” is based on the Biblical Story of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1-4). In the 82 years since LWML began, over $100 million dollars in Mites has been raised to fund mission grants. Seventy-five percent of the Mite donations remain in Central Illinois and twenty-five percent is sent to National. 

Mite Boxes will be placed at two doorways as you leave the worship services. You are invited to drop coins or currency into the boxes to help fund both Central Illinois District and National Mission Grants.

LWR Quilters will meet on Thursday, Oct. 15th, from 9:00 am - 11:00 am in the Parish Hall. 

Please join us to make quilts to be sent around the world.
