Where to Use LWML Bookmark Patterns
Recently LWML made some coloring bookmarks and notecards available for free download. Looking for a place to use this fun printable?
Below is a note from one LWML member:
Thank you so much for the lovely bookmark pattern that we used for our Pipestone Zone Spring rally here at St. John Lutheran in Luverne, MN on April 29.
I had received the wonderful colored pens and coloring book as a present and thought "when will I ever have time to color"?
The ideas came forth … they worked out great and made colored copies on card-stock and had laminated for everyone!
Thank you so much for your help!

Engage, encourage, and equip the women of your congregation to make a meaningful difference in the lives of hurting, helpless, and unbelieving people at home and throughout the world. Enjoy serving the Lord with gladness!

Christian Leaders Bible Study
“Wow! I wish I had a copy of that Bible study!” Have you ever said that after participating in a study with such a powerful message you wanted to share it with others?
It just might happen with this Bible study. Christian Leaders Bible Study, written by Rev. John Heckmann, past LWML Pastoral Counselor, is geared for Christian leaders and contains new insights into developing leadership attitudes and skills.
The Christian Leaders Bible Study is divided into three parts, each with a different focus. A study guide and separate leaders guide are available below as free downloads.
This is an excellent resource for districts to use with their board of directors, committee chairmen, or zone counterparts. Consider passing it along to use on the zone level at retreats or rallies, or as a resource for society leaders. Take a look today! It will be a blessing for you and your leaders.

Mentoring Resources
Woman to Woman Mentoring
Objective: Older to younger, peer to peer, experienced to novice – mentoring happens all around us in many settings. This is a resource that guides Christian women through intentional mentoring. It encourages one-on-one mentoring relationships among culturally and ethnically diverse groups of women, especially as they “serve the Lord with gladness.” It includes devotions, Bible studies, a sketch, and community building activities. It can be used as one unit for workshops or retreats or as individual segments in a series.
Introduction: Mentoring is a process of opening and sharing our lives with others. It can be a short term or long term relationship with another person to help her/him grow physically, emotionally or spiritually. In some situations we serve as mentors to others, and in other situations we need mentors ourselves. Mentoring does not mean, “What can I teach you?” Instead, it means, “How can I help you?” Mentors invest themselves in others as Christ’s ambassadors one life at a time. They do not have to be perfect or have all the answers. They do need to take the risk to get involved in someone else’s life for the right reasons. Jesus, our master mentor, is involved in our lives. He feels our pains and knows our joys. As mentors, we are not taking the place of Jesus, but we can share our relationship with the Lord with someone else to help her/him grow in a personal relationship with Him.
Mentoring Resource Kit
Designed for retreats, workshops, or a series of meetings. Includes visual aids for presentation, a Bible Study, and a mentoring brunch suggestion.
Objectives: Provide tools to active members of LWML that will help them recognize mentoring relationships in their lives and how they can actively participate both as a mentor and mentee. Enable LWML members to participate in short-term mentoring relationships.
