LWML NJ District Summer Newsletter

<p>Here is our Summer 2023 edition of the New Jersey Mission Light, where you’ll find highlights from activities around the New Jersey District, and information on our upcoming events.

Be sure to check out our Fall Rallies where we’ll be covering highlights from our recent national convention, and sharing resources that we have to support pastors and church workers. We are postponing our fall retreat to the spring in order to support the LCMS-NJD’s Workshop, “Holding up the Prophet’s Hands” on Nov. 4^th at SHLC in Basking Ridge. Ladies, please register online for this workshop at www.njdistrict.org. It’s $10 per person or $50 for a congregation for unlimited attendees (check if your congregation is registered). LWML will be sponsoring the breakfast and hosting an information table at the workshop. </p>

Celebrate LWML Sunday

The first Sunday in October is traditionally set aside for the observation of LWML Sunday, but it may be celebrated at any time. This year’s theme is “The King is Coming” based on Psalm 24:7–10

Christ is the King of Glory! The Gospel is our only hope, as the King of glory comes in, with, and through the Gospel, as we were buried with Him in Baptism and raised with Him to a new life!
