MITE UPDATE - January 2026
In December, God blessed us with $12,754.76 in mite offerings, bringing our 2024–2026
biennium total to $216,703.44. To reach our $270,000 mission goal, we will need to receive an
average of $13,324.14 per month through April 25, 2026. Please keep our mission grants in
your prayers, asking the Lord to provide the resources needed so that these ministries may
continue sharing the Gospel and bringing the love and hope of Jesus to people in need. To God
be the glory for all He has done.
Thrivent members: Please consider directing your Thrivent Choice Dollars to the Lutheran
Womens Missionary League MN South District. Be sure to include the last part: MN South
District, or the funds will go to the national LWML only. You may do this on the Thrivent
website or by contacting your Thrivent Representative for assistance. The deadline to designate
your 2025 Choice Dollars is March 31, 2026. All funds received through Thrivent Choice are
added to mites.
Please continue sending mites, memorials, and other district funds (except Equalization and
Quarterlies) to: Carol Henning, Financial Secretary, 1548 Grant St., Jackson, MN 56143.
Make checks payable to LWML Minnesota South District. Report of Contribution forms are
available at mnslwml.org under Resources. Please use the correct form for zones, groups, or
individual members.
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace
(1 Peter 4:10).

WHAT IS A MITE BOX?
It's a cardboard box (3-1/8" x 1-3/4" x 2-1/4") designed by LWML to receive thank offerings above and beyond our regular church giving. It holds pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, and checks.
Mite boxes are FREE and can be used by LWML members, their families, and friends. Ask any LWML member about the box. Take it home and place it wherever you can feed it: dressing table, office desk, laundry room, kitchen counter, or even the car etc.
