Lutheran Women's Missionary League

Here are some “tid-bits” regarding the
recent PSW District LWML Convention
held on June 11-13 in Tempe, AZ.

Five members of St. Paul attended:
Dolores Charlesworth, Daisy Chyzy, Anita
Norgren, Delores Townsend, Rose Tressler
There were 545 in attendance at the
Friday evening Worship/Communion
Service.

Our District president, Rev. Larry
Stotereau spoke at the Service and
emphasized our need to be outwardly
focused. He stated that 80% of our
churches are plateaued or declining. “We
need to look for ways to get the church
into the communities. Being “mission-
directed” begins in the heart of God,
centers on Jesus Christ, is empowered
by the Holy Spirit to and for everyone.
This is our mission, “It is my mission and
it is urgent.”(words by Rev. Stotereau)
The offering on Friday evening of $3,500
was applied to the Stamps for Mission
grants. There were 425 persons
registered for the Convention. The “in-
gathering” that each LWML was asked to
contribute to resulted in $7,842 going to
Lutheran Social Services in addition to
numerous grocery cards of unknown value
given to them also the 21 Zone Banner
quilts plus 56 extra quilts were given to
LSS. Inspirational Bible studies were led
by Lois Silorski and up-lifting music
during the Convention sessions led by Pr.
Mike Zehnder.
