Mission Of the Quarter |
Blessings to you all! We are currently looking for small projects that could benefit by being a "Mission of the Quarter" for this coming year.Please be mission minded and be on the lookout for ideas. Even though there are not current MOQ's, keep sending in a small donation for the ones we WILL have. We continue to accept applications for projects. A Mission of the Quarter (MOQ) project is a small project with a more immediate need than a Mission Grant and also one with a smaller need, typically less than $1000. Donations are given by individual societies outside the regular mite giving. Thank you and God's Blessings to you all.

During these years, many districts organized their women’s Ladies Aid groups and Lutheran Women’s Leagues.July 7 – 8, 1942, Chicago, IL The first convention to organize the official women’s auxiliary of The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod was held. The official name “Lutheran Women’s Missionary League” was adopted and a slate of officers was prepared.

Another Way to Donate to the LWML |
|
|
The LWML is up and running on GoodSearch! This is a search engine (you might be familiar with Google or others) you can use and thus generate some money for the LWML. It is estimated that each search generates approximately $0.01 for the designated organization. Thus if 1,000 women would search twice a day we could potentially receive $7,300/year. Make it your regular search engine and support the LWML! You will need to select the organization you support the first time you use it. According to the information we have, once you select that organization, it will continue to appear in the box so you do not need to select it every time. Just type in “LWML” and click on verify! *********GOODSEARCH HITS MILESTONE************* We've passed the $9,000 mark in raising money for missions on GoodSearch! Since signing up to receive a penny per search in January 2006, thousands of searches have been made that will benefit LWML mission grants. The more we use the search engine, the more we make for mites. Let's see how much we can raise the rest of the year! Visit www.goodsearch.com and type LWML under "I'm supporting" to participate. |
