Wake Up with the Word

Many of you do morning devotions faithfully, don’t you? A great way to start the day. If you are rushed and off to work, you may have the Mustard Seed Devotions that come into your work email daily from LWML. Those quick devotions and the ability to click on the Bible verse and be taken into the Bible to read more are a blessing to the start of your day. They are also a way to share God’s message by easily forwarding them to friends or sharing on your Facebook page. Sometimes they prompt you to remember to do something you’ve been putting off or have forgotten about.
Thanks be to God that He has put those into our hands and (into our computers). If you know someone who would benefit from receiving these daily devotions, please tell them about them.
There are some other “morning devotions” I’d like to tell you about. At our 75th Anniversary Convention we are continuing to offer Bible study before convention sessions begin. We call them “Wake up With the Word” and they take place from 6:45-7:45 on Friday and Saturday mornings. There are three each morning. No prior sign-up is required. This will be nice for you who are early-morning people or for you who come from the Eastern Time Zone and are 2 hours ahead of time during convention!
Here are the studies we have planned for you to enjoy.
Friday morning, June 23, 2017
1. An LWML Bible Study, led by Jan Brunette
2. A Spanish language LWML Bible Study, led by Marilyn McClure.
3. A CPH-sponsored Bible Study, led by Deb Burma.

Saturday, June 24, 2017

1. An LWML Bible Study, led by Janice Wendorf.
2. A Bible Study led by the LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces Chaplain Craig Muehler and Chaplain Steven Hokana
3. A CPH-sponsored Bible Study, led by Donna Pyle

Lutheran Women in Mission have always embraced the importance of being in God’s Word as the starting point of our mission outreach and service. I hope you have your favorite times and places where you delve into God’s Word daily.

In joyful service,

LWML Convention

In Memory Of…

LWML Conventions bring remembrances of all the sisters we have enjoyed knowing and working with in our years of service as Lutheran Women in Mission. That is especially true during this 75th Anniversary Convention June 22-25 in Albuquerque. Our second offering at convention will be for our LWML Endowment Fund. We have used funds from this endowment in the past for leadership training events and planning meetings which bring women from across the United States together for face-to-face engagement, encouragement, and equipping. Wouldn’t it be great if we could build the fund to take more operating expenses from it and thereby channel more money to the mission grants?

LWML has been blessed to receive some wonderful donations and beautiful notes included with these offerings.  I want to share some of these with you and encourage you to share with your daughters, granddaughters, nieces and young women friends. We ask God to help us continue the legacy of LWML with those sisters coming after us!

In Celebration of… being part of this great organization locally, and also in all parts where the LWML shares God’s love; for God’s blessings of a successful liver transplant given to a daughter-in-law; for blessings of children and grandchildren; for being part of the LWML for 53 years; for the wonderful women who serve in leadership positions; of the joy of being active in LWML and in fellowship with other Sisters in Christ sharing the same mission – to help spread the Gospel message.

In Honor of… Elise Saeger Troester who was present at the original organizational meeting in Chicago and the encouragement she gave us young women.

In Memory of… Christian mothers, aunts and grandmothers; of past LWML President, Betty Duda; of faithful friends now with Jesus.

I hope you will participate in the legacy of the LWML by sharing your remembrances along with your offerings.

One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness (Psalm 145:4-6).

In joyful service,

Patti

Passing the Faith from Generation to Generation

Kay Meyer and President Patti during the Family Shield Ministries interview

Have you ever noticed how when you hear your recorded voice it doesn’t sound the same as how you hear yourself in your head? I always think I’m sounding one way and then when I listen to it it’s like, “Who is that?”

I recently had the opportunity to do a program with Kay Meyer, President of Family Shield Ministries, as she discussed passing the faith from generation to generation. I’m including the interview here on my blog for the next two weeks since it is a little lengthy for what I consider a quick blog read and I will be out of country for one of those weeks.

We talk about several things and I guess I really do sound like that! Thanks to Kay Meyer for inviting LWML to be part of her radio broadcast which is heard on 53 stations nationwide.

Listen to the interview here: http://www.lwml.org/media

 

Noted here are the resources which we reference during the interview:

Balance Bible Study Series from LWML:

Balance Christ Filled Family Living by Coreen Jander

Balance Christ Filled Living by Kay Meyer

Balance Christ Filled Living with Adolescents by Dr. MaryAnn Walton

The Bible study series will be great for your next women’s Bible study. It’s available through Shop LWML.

The Radiant Reflections booklet you’ll have to get at convention in June or have someone buy it for you!

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing (1Thess. 5:11).
