Seminarians learn about
LWML-Canada
Each year the vicars from each seminary are invited to dinner to
learn more about LWML-Canada from the president or her representative.
President Judy Grande attended both dinners this year. Dinner for
CLTS vicars and their families was held at St. John's Lutheran Church,
Stevensville, Ontario, on March 26, 2010. Dinner for CLS vicars
and families was at Bethel Lutheran Church, Sherwood Park, Alberta
on April 9, 2010. Visit

Seminar will focus on growing leaders
Work has begun on a seminar for leaders to take place in 2011. Planning
committee members Doreen Dotzler, Shirley Fast, Pauline Huth and
Linda Ritaller met at Zion Lutheran, Surrey, B.C., with League president,
Judy Grande January 14-16, 2010. "Chosen Servants
Shine
Like Stars" based on Isaiah 41:9b-10 was chosen as
the theme. The purpose of the seminar is to equip and encourage
women to be comfortable and competent in using their God-given gifts
so they lead in the way God has called them.
Seminar to provide help in making God-pleasing
decisions
LWML-Canada has also begun planning a second seminar to be available
in 2011, titled "Good Lord, What Do I Do?"
and subtitled "God's Direction - Your Decisions."
Planning committee members Sandra Schaeffer (chair), Sharon Kentner,
Patti Kreutzweiser and Gail Mitchell have chosen the scripture passage
Proverbs 3:5-6 as the basis for the seminar. The purpose is that
through God's Word women are empowered for God-pleasing decision
making, enabled to trust God in all circumstances and equipped to
support others.
Lutheran
women on Facebook
At their General Council meeting this month, one of the decisions
made was to initiate meaningful conversation with women by establishing
a presence on Facebook. An invitation was issued to women of LCC
who would be interested in helping touch the lives of women with
God's love through Facebook. Several responses have been received.
Additional help would be welcome. Many hands make light work. Send
Marion Hollinger an e-mail (vpcommunication@lutheranwomen.ca). The
potential is only limited by the size of the Internet! Thanks for
considering it.
