October 5th is LWML Sunday

LWML Sunday - October 5, 20-25

Since 1942, the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) 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. As Lutheran Women in Mission, members joyfully proclaim Christ, support missions, and equip women to honor God by serving others. 

Did you know that Zion has had a chartered LWML society since the 1950s?! Our LWML society at Zion went through a long period of inactivity, but due to a renewed desire to participate in missions and connect to our sisters in mission across the country through LWML, our Zion society was re-formed in 2022. All ladies of the congregation are cordially invited to attend our quarterly meetings and fellowship gatherings with local and regional LWML members. In fact, all female members of an LCMS congregation are officially part of the LWML . . . so there’s no formal process for women to join an LWML society. One of the many benefits of belonging to an LCMS congregation! 

You have probably noticed one staple of LWML — the Mite Box — displayed on the table in the back of our sanctuary. Based on the account of the widow's mite in Luke Chapter 21, the Mite box is intended for regular contributions of "mites" — offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS.
