Then and Now
75th Anniversary Committee"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven...a time to plant...a time to speak...a time to build. So says Ecclesiastes 3, and so it was for the women of the Missouri Synod in the late 1920s. They planted seeds... Now it was time to increase the yield by sharing, by cooperating, by expanding. Spontaneously, almost simultaneously in scattered locations throughout the continent, women's societies began building linkages with others that were committed to the Lord's service."
These words from WINGS* by Marlys Taege show the joy and determination of women who encouraged the establishment of what would become the Lutheran Women's Missionary League in 1942. Women today are still connected to these visionaries as they, too, engage in serving Christ through the LWML.
