Mite Update

MITE UPDATE
The August mite total was $7,095.80 bringing our total mites to $52,652.86 for the first four months of the 2024-2026 biennium. Thank you Lord for your love and forgiveness, and for all the blessings you generously give to us. Thank you for teaching us to serve others and share our blessings.

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. Thank you for supporting our mission grants through mite giving.

You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God (2 Corinthians 9:11-12).

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.
