Welcome to the Michigan District LWML Web Site
It is Jesus, our Anchor, that we will celebrate in the Michigan District LWML Convention, July 18-20, 2008 in Lansing, MI as you bring gifts of love for His children to the Convention. LWML/Women in Mission and friends will serve Jesus, our Anchor, as they package 100,000 meals during the day on Friday, July 18, for Feed My Starving Children. These will be sent in Jesus’ name throughout the world where needed most. You will be thrilled by the Lutheran City Ministries (LCM) Children’s Choir during the pre-service music Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Lansing Center. Then join over 1000 of our brothers and sisters in Christ in worship and praise at the Opening Communion Service with Rev. Steven Essenburg from LCM and Charity and Nazareth congregations in Detroit proclaiming Jesus, our Anchor! Saturday excitement continues as we greet Heart to Heart Sisters, Teens into Serving Him, and Young Woman Representatives; study God’s Word together with Sandra Eggers; hear three missionaries speak; receive news from Janice McDaniels, national LWML VP of Gospel Outreach; select new Mission Grants and officers for the next biennium and much more. Shop to your hearts delight and remember those at home with gifts from the LWML Store and Concordia Publishing House Bookstore. Saturday afternoon you’ll have time to hear two (of 8) inspirational speakers as they tell how Jesus has anchored them during sunny and stormy times and helped them reach out to others with His love. There will even be a special interest session on beauty for teenagers. We’ll laugh as we celebrate being anchored with Christ who gives us joy shared by Jan Struck, humorist, the LATINO Youth Dancers, and Elaine Bickel. David Paul Britton will once again lead our singing with delight to Jesus, our Anchor. The District Officers have some special events planned for you to enjoy in the Ports of Call Exhibit Hall, and you can learn more about and speak one-on-one with ministry representatives from throughout the Lutheran Church. The District Officers, the Convention Co-chairs and Committees from Evergreen, Macomb South and Suburban Lights, the Radisson Hotel, Lansing and Lansing Center are eagerly awaiting your arrival. The speakers, singers and entertainers are preparing for you. Now, all we need is you to register and help us celebrate the sure hope of eternal life in Jesus, our Anchor.

Anita L.
Beyersdorf Post Script As I write this, I don’t know if my sister will still be here on earth in July waiting to hear how much love, joy, and fun was shared at the Convention. But I do know that because Christ has anchored her to Him by His life, death and resurrection, she has amazing sights and joyful celebrations waiting for her in Heaven. Please come help me celebrate this sure hope that is anchored in Christ. (Hebrews 6:19-20a)
