In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Imagine what that would have been like! Creating something never seen before, made from scratch. God created everything! And it was good.

It is good to grow the Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML) by inviting women of your congregation to join and become part of an LWML group. This may seem like a daunting task, especially trying to figure out where to start, but you do not have to start from scratch.

A new Welcome Packet has been developed as a tool to help new members and groups easily access resources and become familiar with LWML. The tool provides links to learn about LWML, to get ideas to grow an existing LWML group, to begin a new group, and to share LWML with others. This interactive tool provides links to the various resources on the LWML website.

The new Welcome Packet can help Lutheran Women in Mission groups, as well as individuals, find the resources they need in one, easy-to-use document. Enjoy exploring the many resources as you Grow your Group as Lutheran Women in Mission.
