Lutheran Women's Missionary Society: Missions Update
This month, local LWMS efforts are supporting to mission efforts:
1. Vicar in Mission Settings:
This program allows a Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary student to receive field training with a home missionary in an actual mission setting. Although money is available through budgetary funding, your support of this project allows even more students to participate in this training.
2. Efforts in Russia
One missionary and four national pastors serve five congregations and one preaching station in the Russian Lutheran Church. Visiting professors make regular teaching trips to help train our seminary students and deaconesses. Deaconesses in Iskitim conduct a thriving children’s program including Sunday school, vacation Bible school, children’s seminars throughout the year, as well as publishing an impressive children’s newsletter. The Russian Lutheran Church is currently working on improving its use of media, including a website, and distribution of sound Christian literature.
Anyone wishing to contribute can place their donation in Suzanne Westlund's mailbox at church, prior to Sunday, March 28th and she'll forward it to the Circuit treasurer. Thank you!
