Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday 2025
Traditionally celebrated the first Sunday in October, Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday can be celebrated any time.
This year’s theme begins a four-year cycle focusing on the LWML Mission Statement — 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 2025 we focus on Proclaiming Christ.
Everything we do as Lutheran Women in Mission begins with Christ’s message of repentance and forgiveness. The Ascension text of “GO” (Luke 24:44–53) is the mission emphasis for Lutheran Women in Mission Sunday 2025. On Ascension Day, Jesus gave his followers an assignment “that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations.” We, as the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, have a responsibility to proclaim the message of Christ, to be that body which proclaims repentance and forgiveness, showing forth the merciful Christ in what we do and say. As Lutheran Women in Mission we continue to support, encourage and uplift missionaries, and also provide physical support and compassion to all people. It is the proclamation of repentance and forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name that motivates us to do this work. All Glory be to Jesus!
