We have paid our first seven mission grants of the biennium and are a few hundred dollars away from funding our eighth grant, Trinity Community Outreach. We still have a long way to go to meet this biennium's mite goal, so please keep filling up those mite boxes!
Here are the Mission Grants for the 2012-2014 biennium. This month, Mission Grant #7, Women of Christ Too, is highlighted.
1. "Train a child in the way he should go" Prov. 22:6 $2,000.00

7. Women of Christ Too$1,800.00
Prison ministries provide spiritual guidance to inmates who may already have a relationship with God, and to reach inmates who do not have a religious foundation. Our request for funding is to initiate a Women's Prison Ministry that will support incarcerated women by supplying personal care items, Bibles and women's daily devotional materials. We will encourage the women at Rikers Island and share with them that Jesus loves them unconditionally (Grace Lutheran Church, Queens Village, NY).

In less than one month, the women and men of the LWML will be meeting in Pittsburgh for the 35th Biennial Convention of the Lutheran Woman's Missionary League.....will you be there??? Will you be a part of this wonderful event???? Will you be able to say when this is all said and done "I was a worker at that convention? I was part of this magnificent event! I WAS THERE!!!!"
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.
All delegates should have received their packets either by email or regular mail.
If you have any questions, you can contact Deborah Graybosch at: deblwml@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!
