Welcome
Utah-Idaho LWMLThe Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) is the official women’s auxiliary of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. For 75 years, the LWML has focused on affirming each woman’s relationship with Christ, encouraging and equipping women to live out their Christian lives in active mission ministries and to support global missions. The Utah-Idaho District of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League serves Northern Utah, Southern Idaho and Northeast Oregon. We have more than 386 members in 24 societies in 4 zones: Utah, Western, Central, and Yellowstone. October 2020Greetings to each of you in the Name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. May you be blessed and feel the presence of Jesus as He supports you with His love letters in His Word.
Our District has entered into its 2020-2022 biennium that began April 1. The theme that will be guiding us during this time is: Trust • Renew • Grow • Serve This theme is based on God’s Word found in Hebrews 10:22-24: Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works. Programs and events supporting this theme will be designed to bring us together as Lutheran Women in Mission, helping us to trust in God above all things, renewing our spirit, and growing in faith as we serve our neighbor. Please take time to review the information on this website: updated Mite reports, news of your Mites in Action, and information about upcoming events that will bring us together in fellowship. Joyfully serving Him with you, Lois Anderson President 2018-2022 LWML Utah-Idaho District Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). |

Virtual Convention
The LWML Utah-Idaho District virtual convention was held on August 15, 2020 – and what an event it was! Approximately 25 people gathered at Friendship Celebration in Meridian, Idaho, and many others in groups at churches and in the safety of their own homes. We gathered for our 37th biennial convention under the theme, “Lift Up Your Eyes” based on John 4:35b: Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are ripe for harvest.”
We heard from God’s Word as Terri Bentley urged us to see the opportunity to sow the gospel seeds. We can rejoice together as souls are saved for eternal life. Other speakers shared the stories of their faith walk, news of past and current grants, and greetings from the LWML Treasurer and President.
The tech team at Friendship Celebration did an awesome job in live streaming this event. To view the virtual convention video, click HERE. Thank you for your continued prayers as we seek ways to carry out God’s will in the months ahead.
