LWML — Lutheran Women in Mission

Time for a Clean Sweep?

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).

As the new year begins, it is time to reflect on areas where we can improve our lives. Many make resolutions to do something specific for their health, home, family, or personal devotion time for faith-building and prayers.

Individuals are not alone on this improvement journey. The Lutheran Women in Mission Board of Directors is working through strategic planning. Looking to the future, we discuss practices in our organization that need a “clean sweep.” Our communication methods, event planning, and volunteer structure benefit from a review of their importance, relevancy, and efficiency. We also review whether practices need to be eliminated, streamlined, or updated.

Your local group may wish to do the same thing by using helpful Group Development resources on the LWML website. I recommend using “Time for a ‘Clean Sweep?’” to challenge your group to self-evaluate — all for the ultimate purpose of proclaiming Christ, supporting missions, and equipping women to honor God by serving others.

Happy cleaning!
