Entries for September 2008
September Mite Status. Below is our Mite position at the close of September. Unfortunately, our shortage is growing. Keep praying for our missionaries and mission projects as you feed your Mite boxes.
2009 National Convention Information. All national convention information has been consolidated and is accessible from the "LWML 33rd Biennial Convention" link in the purple pane to the left. Deadline for YW Rep applications is October 10. More information and registration forms will also be available in the December Quarterly.
LOOK! Look for the LWML to meet next June under the banner “Look to the Hills … God Reigns” — the theme of the 33rd Biennial Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Convention in Portland, Oregon, June 25-28, 2009.
Because of production difficulties, the earlier versions of the LWML
Sunday CD did not include the video greeting. This video greeting is
now available to view and download from the website - www.lwml.org.

Monthly Mites Status. Our Financial Secretary reports total gifts for missions at the close of August of $11,940.96. Now that our Societies are meeting again and Fall Zone Rallies will be held, we pray that our shortage will be made up quickly!
Over $2,000 raised to date. Linda Ault, our recording secretary, reports that since the inception of our recycling program in the fall of 2004, a total of $2,034.84 has been raised! The proceeds of this progam are deposited into our Administration Fund which is used to, among other things, pay the expenses of the delegates we send to the national LWML convention. Check out the Recycling page for complete details.
Jan Dankwart, Susan Vang, Jana Hoffman and Carol Busse will be traveling to St. Louis for a leadership training conference October 24-26.
School has started, the weather feels a bit cooler, and fall is on its way. Mark your calendars now for the LWML Fall Rally in your area. Enjoy fellowship, an interesting program, opportunities to grow in your faith and to share God’s love with others. Schedule of Zone Rallies.
