We have paid our first five mission grants of the biennium and are close to paying our sixth grant, Young Women of God on the Move. We are almost halfway through the biennium but definitely not halfway there with the mites we've raised so far, so please keep filling up those mite boxes!

The LWML Society at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Brooklyn, NY, called "Women of God on the Move," is a vibrant, active society raising mission consciousness and mites and carrying on a multitude of parish mission activities. Women of God on the Move will interact and intersect with the many programs designed for youth and children at St. Peter's (Sunday School 50 students, First Communion 20 students, Pre-Confirmation 25 students, Confirmation and Youth 15 students, Homework Help 20 students and St. Peter's School 100 families) to create a junior society called "Young Women of God on the Move" designed for the girls and young women of the church. Female teachers and ministry leaders, who are members of Women of God on the Move, will coordinate activities, learning, trips and projects for the girls/young women designed to create this new service and mission organization in the parish and track their progress in organizing as a group and achieving individually. Finally, the mothers of the girls and young women will be recruited for membership in Women of God on the Move for mission expansion. The grant funds will be distributed through WGOM for Catechetical Materials, Audio-visual Equipment upgrade, Trip and Retreat scholarships for girls/young women/mothers, Service Project activities and Neighborhood Outreach activities.

Pittsburgh, Pa.
It's almost time for the LWML convention in Pittsburgh Pa!
There's still time for you to be a part of the excitement! Workers are still needed and will be given a $65 discount on their registration. This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE! Our Atlantic District is one of the six host districts. You may never have an opportunity like this again...so don't wait! Don't miss out on the fun and excitement!
If you are a worker at the convention (and I hope you are!) you must wait until you receive your discount registration coupon to attach to your registration. You may, however, book your hotel at any time. The sooner you book it, the better chance of getting the hotel you desire.
All registration materials can be found in the center of the winter edition of the Lutheran Woman's Quarterly. You may also register online at: www.lwml.org.
