From the Desk of WY District President, Terri Denniston

June 22, 2024

Praise be to the Lord our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, for a successful completion of the 27th Biennial LWML Wyoming District convention held June 13-15, 2024, in beautiful Powell, Wyoming.  “Let us Rejoice in the Lord!”

Fifty evaluations were turned in.  Thank you! My statistician husband looked over the marks and declared we received better than a 90% rating in most categories.  We did get mostly 4s and 5s.   Lower numbers were noted. Improvement plans will be put in place. Thank you all for your careful comments!

Outstanding speakers!  Bible Study by Rev. Mark Maas was too short!  The Divine Worship Service, the choir, the Immanuel Lutheran LWML “Restaurant” were highly regarded.

The Zero K Donut Walk raised nearly $600 towards our Mite Pledge.  LWML President Eden Keefe noted this event in her LWML Communications.  Do you think this will become a new custom?

As final numbers come in, continue to check wyolwml.org webpage for the updates.  We have some fantastic elected officers. Committee appointments are in process.  If you’re interested in doing something for district off-site that doesn't include district meetings, let me know.  I have some ideas!

If this convention renewed your desire to proclaim Jesus, support mission, equip women to honor God by helping others, make plans NOW to attend the LWML “Growing in God’s Grace” convention in Omaha, NE. June 26 – 29, 2025.  The LWML Wyoming District Board members look forward to a new biennium working with you!

It’s this week! Are you coming? It’s not too late to register.

Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. Philippians 4:4has depth.  Lutheran Women in Mission will dig into this verse in various ways.

  • What’s it like to form a friendship with a prison in-mate and share Jesus’ salvation with her? 
  • Have you perhaps sent a lovingly crafted quilt to a troubled child residing at The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch? What a cherished gift! 
  • Reminding us who we are in Christ, Rev. Mark Maas, LWML pastoral counselor will walk us through our theme verse.
  • Debbie Yocky, LWML Representative, will encourage us to be current with LWML opportunities. 

Since the Milwaukee Convention Lord of all Nations, the LWML officers, committees, and district presidents have been busy proclaiming Jesus Christ. "What does this mean?"

What have the officers YOU have elected been up to the last two years?

Guess what? Come in your pajamas and win prizes! Coffee and donuts anyone?

Won’t you join us? Check out the tab on this page Convention 2024. See you there!

Buy a Cookie for a Seminarian

by Terri Denniston LWML WYD President

At a recent LWML Presidents Assembly in St. Louis, we collected for a Gifts from the Heart Project.  Since the LWML office is on the Concordia Theological Seminary St. Louis campus, the seminarians are offered hot chocolate and cookies when they stop by. The staff remarked that the lobby is a busy place during the day.

   The grand total for this project was $1055.51. 

   Want to help?  Give some “dough” for the cookie dough:
