Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday 2026
Traditionally celebrated the first Sunday in October, Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday can be celebrated any time.
This yearโs theme continues a four-year cycle focusing on the LWML Mission Statement โ As Lutheran Women in Mission, we joyfully proclaim Christ, support missions, and equip women to honor God by serving others. For Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday 2026, we focus on Supporting Missions. This theme is based on the texts: Ecclesiastes 3:9โ15, Galatians 2:1โ10, and Mark 10:35โ45.
Christ Jesus our Lord asks us to be wise stewards of His good gifts. St. Paul, while proclaiming the Gospel, was also concerned for those who suffered. There were so many mission efforts taking place. As believers today, we also are eager to follow the example of Christ and aid those in need. The Spirit of God places that eagerness to serve upon our hearts. We canโt be everywhere to aid the missions, firsthand, that are set before us. The Lord does allow us to support those efforts that go forth in His name. May the Lord grant to us supportive hearts.
