First Lutheran Church of Venice
Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML)
The LWML, also known as
Lutheran Women in Mission,
sponsors activities to interest a wide
range of women members of our congregation. It was started in the
early 1940's and slowly replaced the "Ladies' Aids" in the
churches. It is
a national,
a regional
and a local organization,
which enables women to become a force in the church, able to support
missions and missionaries. It utilizes the organizational and
administrative talents of women and is the official women's
organization of the Synod. All women church members are
automatically members of LWML.
