Last week the convention logo for our 2019, 38th Biennial Convention in Mobile, Alabama was sent out in a news release. In case you missed it, here is some of what was in the news release.

The convention logo for the 38th Biennial Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Convention was created by LWML Graphics Team Chairman Stephanie Kollbaum of Pocatello, Idaho. The theme for the convention is: “In Praise to the LORD!” The logo and the convention theme are based on the Scripture verses, Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations       (1 Chronicles 16:23–24a).

To declare His glory among the nations is the heart of who we are as Lutheran Women in Mission. Guided by the Holy Spirit and God’s marvelous works, we will be equipped in 2019 at Mobile, Alabama to tell of His salvation from day to day. The cross and the heart mark the work of Christ Jesus to all the earth and lead us in praise to the Lord.

The LWML Convention will be Thursday, June 20–Sunday, June 23, 2019, at the Mobile Convention Center in Mobile, Alabama.

The goal statement of the convention is: Led by God’s power, we praise and proclaim the Lord among all the nations. Convention attendees will have opportunity to sing and rejoice in celebration of God’s Word through worship and Bible study. They will go forth in His joy, declaring His glory to all, and telling of His salvation for all.

We will celebrate how Christ is bringing the nations to us here at home in our church body and how we are enabling missionaries to take the Gospel message of Christ out to the nations through our work in LWML.

Graphic artists are great, aren’t they? You can give them your ideas and thoughts and they can create images that capture and represent those ideas in a picture. I’m sure you can put some of your own interpretation into this logo. I hope it will lead you to consider how God’s love surrounds the world and how He lovingly cares for all people. We are privileged to share the work of letting all the world know about His love.
