Who are the Women of Faith/LWML? |
|||
|
We base our service on the following scriptural verse: “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” 1 Corinthians 10:37 |
|||
|
All women who attend Faith Lutheran Church, whether year-round residents or seasonal residents, are members of Women of Faith/LWML. That means that all women are welcome and invited to attend our monthly meetings, held the second Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m., in the Discipleship Room. On rare occasions that date is changed, but the change is always announced in the bulletin. Please consider attending the meetings and becoming involved in our activities. |
|||
|
LWML stands for Lutheran Women's Missionary League, which is an organization to which the WOF belong. As indicated by the name, Lutheran missions are supported. We contribute money through our monthly mite collections and from our fundraisers. We also attend local fall and spring Southwest Zone rallies, the statewide conference of the FL/GA District, and the National Convention. |

|
There are many opportunities to work in the mission field in our congregation: |

|
MITE collections Mite collection is the first Sunday of every month, although donations are accepted at any time. ALL MEMBERS of FAITH: Please clean out your pockets and purses and donate your loose change! A portion of these donations will be going to help the many people who are suffering from the devastation of this season’s hurricanes. |
If you like to sew, join the Itchin’ to Stitch group who make quilts, sew layettes, etc, that are sent around the world. |
The Cravin’ to Craft group creates many items to sell at our craft bazaar, which is held the first Saturday in November (This year's date is November 7. Call Marion Schrader, 643-5360, to offer your services). The proceeds provide money to support many mission projects. |
We sponsor Blood Drives twice a year.

August LWML Mite Sunday is the 1st! In the past 63 years, over $80 million has been contributed through mite offerings. Your gift along with the contributions of others will provide perpetual funding to assist the LWML in continuing in its history of mission-ministry in the church, the community and among the people of the world. |
