Mission Service Activity of the Month
Gifts from the Heart has changed for the 2025 LWML Convention in Omaha this June. Lutheran Women in Mission have the opportunity to purchase and ship needed items for the three recipients before convention, instead of hauling boxes of items to the convention location. This benefits our LWML volunteers and our selected recipients from hours of intense labor and the need for huge amounts of storage. Thank you for being open to this NEW way of serving others.
Shopping for Gifts from the Heart (GFTH) via Amazon Wish Lists
These links will be live through the week of the convention in Omaha. Shopping through Amazon allows our recipients to have continuous restocking of their top items all the way through convention. As items are filled, new items could be added. Use the Amazon links to review all the items needed for our three selected GFTH recipients for Omaha. Get creative! Set up shopping times during your group meetings.
Additional Shopping Option: The Gospel Outreach Committee will also be accepting VISA gift cards at the convention. Please make sure to write the dollar ($) amount on the outside of each card. These will be dropped off at the GFTH collection location at the convention.

Prayer as you plan:
Heavenly Father, this is a new experience for many. We ask that you give us open hearts and minds, realizing that your work is still being accomplished but in a new and innovative way. We continue to serve others with gladness, which is our motto. We lift these three ministries to you, asking that you bless them in the Gospel-sharing work that they do. In Jesus name, Amen.
