Lutheran Women in Mission Blog Have you been reading President Patti’s, Lutheran Women in Mission blog? Her recent blog post on “A Convention Invitation Changed One Woman’s World” highlights Deborah’s first convention, here’s a snip it of the story, Between the doors of the sanctuary and the welcome center, she stopped me. “Would you want to go to the LWML convention in Des Moines with me?” “Sure,” I responded. Once a month, outside the sanctuary doors , a rectangular table covered with a purple cloth held a large container half filled with change and small purple and white boxes labeled “Mites” and “LWML”. That had been the extent of my LWML knowledge. The rest of the blog post can be found here http://blog.lwml.org/.
