The LWML Catalina Society will be having their final meeting as they take a break for the Summer. The last meeting until September will be held, May 16, 2012 at 10:00 am. Hope to see you there.
Our LWML Sisters at the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior, Green Valley, Az, have graciously invited us to the Fall Rally which they will be hosting on Sunday, October 14, 2012 beginning at 1:30 pm. Please mark your calendars.
The theme for the 35th Biennial Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Convention is : Quenched! by the Water. Based on the Scripture verse from John 4:14 [Jesus said:]….”but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
The Convention will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , June 27th -June 30, 2013. It’s not too early to be thinking about attending or maybe even becoming a volunteer. See your Society President for more information.
Thanks to all who contribute with their Mites the LWML English District Mission Goal was met! ”Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.” Psalm 100:1
