Past LWML President, Kay Kreklau, is looking forward to meeting you and visiting our beautiful state of Idaho – a first time for her!

The attendees at the 2020 Utah-Idaho LWML District Convention in Boise will have an opportunity to hear Dr. Nancy Almogovar’s story. She and her husband learned about the benefits of Holy Baptism and the Lord’s Supper through Worship Anew, a TV program produced at the Fort Wayne Seminary and supported by one of our District’s mission grants. Also Deja Reed, St. Paul’s group president from Jerome, has a special story to tell about hearing of the grace of God through Lutheran media. You’ll want to hear what they have to share with us! |

Bylaw updates, elections, and other business – yes, these are all necessary parts of any organization that wants to operate with any kind of order. The LWML is no exception; in fact, all these business items are in place so that missions can take a front seat at any gathering. That’s what Lutheran Women in MISSION is all about, reaching those who need our help while leading them to know about Jesus’ love and grace. Voting for new mission grants will take place during the District LWML Convention, and we will also hear about the impact your Mites have made in the past biennium. |
March 8 |
Our 2020 District Convention Bible Study leader will be Terri Bentley, from Garden Valley, Idaho. She has written devotions and retreat programs for LWML and we are privileged to have her lead us in the study of John 4:31-37. She will have everyone digging deeper in His Word than we would have at our first glance at the convention theme, “Lift Up Your Eyes!” |
March 15 |
At the 2020 District Convention you’ll have an opportunity to get up and stretch often as you follow the leader, Leslie Wills, a personal trainer at XrossWay Fitness in Twin Falls. She will give everyone a short break to become revitalized in body and mind with stretching and deep breathing. Mary Smith will be leading us with songs of praise. These activities will help us to be more alert as we conduct district business and listen intently as our mission speakers tell us of their outreach events. |
March 22 |
The 2020 District Convention will begin on Friday evening with a Worship/Communion Service at our Host Congregation, Friendship Celebration. The Boise community is welcome to attend this service – no previous registration required. Enjoy time of fellowship following the service – a time to visit with our speakers and members of the Board of Directors, and time to make new acquaintances and renew old ones. |
