Ministries

 

A Breakfast and Bible Study is held in the chapel the first and the third Saturday of each month, with breakfast 9:00 am followed by the Bible Study . The studies vary, but are based on those found in the LWML Quarterly. We are usually out by 11:00-11:30. The breakfast is provided for by volunteers and another volunteer does the Bible Study. You certainly are invited to join us simply by being there at 9:00 am. You will indeed be glad that you did.

 

The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is Gloria Dei's official women’s auxiliary organization. It is a ministry of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod based in St. Louis and recently celebrated its 80th anniversary of serving our Lord and Savior. There are over 250,000 ACTIVE women who dedicate their talent and time to this organization.

​

The objectives of the LWML are:

Mission Inspiration: Women are inspired by the Word to fulfill the Lord’s command to go ...and teach all nations...

Mission Education: Women are alerted to opportunities and equipped to serve the Lord whenever and wherever He has need of us.

Mission Service: Women help the needy through Servant Events, in their communities through the LWML and through their congregations.

Mission Grants: Women support various mission grants in sharing the Gospel with others in our district, our nation, and around the word.

THE MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League is to assist each woman of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in affirming her relationship with the Triune God so that she is enabled to use her gifts in ministry to the people of the world.

OUR MOTTO: Serve the Lord with Gladness (Psalm 100:2)

OUR COLORS: Purple and Gold

OUR MAGAZINES: The Quarterly (national) and The Evangel (district)

​

MITE BOXES: LWML MISSION GRANTS are funded through volunteer contributions. Each supporter of the LWML places coins (mites) into an LWML MITE BOX AS A THANK OFFERING TO God and with a prayer for our world-wide missions. Contributions are collected locally and sent to the LWML FL/GA District. Monies are divided with 75% for the FL/GA District and 25% is sent in to be applied to the LWML national mission goals. Over $2 Million has been collected through our loose change and mites for mission grants in the United States as well all over the world.

Scholarship funds are also available to LCMS students who enter the Concordia educational system to become pastors, teachers, DECs, etc.
