What's happening in the LWML Minnesota North District

LWML Fall rallies have been held. Women all over the Minnesota North District have had the opportunity to encourage each other, refresh their faith and help others by their contributions to the various ingatherings. Each rally was unique and meaningful and blessed so many with their gifts.

Fall packets were handed out and once again we are reminded that the Lord's work sometimes involves paper work too. The information we request from each group helps us to plan and carry out the business of the district. Thank you all for helping with this.

The Mission Grant Proposal form is online on our website. CLICK HERE. You will find the forms there in both a fillable form (pdf)and a word document. Proposals are due January 1, 2026. Email the application form and all information to: Mary Scott, Mission Grants Chairman LWML MN North District at missiongrants@lwmlmnn.org. Please include 5-10 digital pictures (JPEG or TIFF format), images, videos, graphics or logos of your proposal.

The District nominating committee is hard at work seeking candidates for the many offices that need to be filled. When you are asked, please give prayerful consideration to serve in the district LWML.

We are excited to be working on the District Convention planned for June 22-24, 2026 at The Park Event Center in Waite Park, MN. By now you should have a poster about the convention and the events planned. Here's a few highlights:

• We are pleased to announce that Rev. Kris Whitby will be our Keynote Speaker. Rev. Whitby was the Keynote speaker at the convention in Omaha this past June. Many of you heard his presentation and possibly his Bible study.
• Rev. Dr. Patrick Lovejoy, Arrowhead I Pastoral Counselor and Pastor at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, Grand Rapids, MN will lead the Bible Study.
• Each convention we welcome a member of the Board of Directors of the national LWML to attend our district convention. This convention, President Eden Keefe will be with us. Please come and meet her.
• Our entertainment will be provided by "Great River Resonance". This is a premier community handbell ensemble from the greater St. Cloud area.
• Plans are underway for another "Silent Auction". The proceeds will go toward the district mite goal for the next biennium.

More information will be available as time goes on. Look for the registration information in the Spring newsletter, published in April at 2026.

Make plans now to come and be encouraged, enlightened, and renewed.
