MITE UPDATE
Praise be to God! During the second quarter of the 2024-2026 biennium, ending October 31, 2024, we received $27,940.20 in mites for mission grants. This brings our total mites for this biennium to $73,497.26 and keeps us on track for meeting our $270,000 mission goal. Thank you to everyone who so generously shared their blessings by giving to mites.
Twenty-five percent of our mite contributions are sent to the national Lutheran Women’s Missionary League to help fund the 31 mission grants that the delegates chose at the 2023 national convention in Milwaukee, plus some national LWML operating expenses. Seventy-five percent of our mite contributions fund the 13 mission grants that were approved in June at our LWML Minnesota South District convention in Mankato.
Please continue to send mites, memorials and other money for the district (except Equalization and Quarterlies) to Carol Henning, Financial Secretary, 1548 Grant St., Jackson, MN 56143. Make checks payable to LWML Minnesota South District. The Report of Contribution forms are available on our mnslwml.org website under Resources. There are different forms for zones, groups, and individual members.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

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.
