SERVICE

Mission Service implies sharing the love of our Lord in physical ways.

Romans 10:14-15 says, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'" Replace the word "preach" with the word "share" and suddenly it becomes something we CAN do! Our mission field starts here at home. Sharing the message of God's love with our neighbours is often best received when delivered with an act of love.

The Mission Service Department of Lutheran Women's Missionary League-Canada encourages women to reach out to others through a wide variety of activities, such as:

• visiting shut-ins and the elderly and doing small kindnesses for them
• providing friendship and caring for the lonely
• knitting, sewing, and other hands-on activities for those in need
• collecting and packing a variety of kits for Canadian Lutheran World Relief and others
• many other creative and useful avenues of service
