Saints Equipped to Serve
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–13 NIV).
What a productive week! The LWML Board of Directors (BOD) and appointed committee members met in St. Louis four days last week in an interdepartmental meeting. This was the one opportunity when all committee members could meet face-to-face to plan their work for this biennium. The Pastoral Counselors led Bible study, and BOD members guided training exercises centered around the 2021–2023 LWML “Primary Focus" and “Strategic Plan.” Committee members reviewed the purpose of their committees and how they could best engage the women of the LWML — just as they were equipped by the BOD to serve in their new roles.
We thank and praise God for these willing and faithful saints and for their work to build you up and encourage you as Lutheran Women in Mission!
