-
Mite Boxes are used to collect
money for missions.
-
Twenty-five percent of the mite
offering is sent to LWML for mission grants and the remaining
seventy-five percent is used for your district's mission grants.
-
Mite money is used to further
God's kingdom through the mission grants selected by delegates at
district and national conventions.
-
Place your Mite Box wherever you
can feed it: dressing table, office desk, laundry room, car,
kitchen counter, etc. You might want to give a Mite Box to
family members and friends.
-
Return your filled Mite Box to
your LWML society.
-
Each society should send mite monies to:
Financial Secretary
P.O. Box 306
Frankenmuth, MI 48734-0306
To Obtain Mite Boxes:
The preferred method of getting mite
boxes is to request them of your Zone President so
that she can pick them up at meetings to keep the
cost of postage down. To order mite
boxes through your Zone President, make a request
to web master or by direct contact with
Mission Awareness Coordinator Judy Heckerd.
IMPORTANT NOTICE --
MITE BOX OFFERINGS.
Send mites to: Marilyn Bernthal, District Financial
Secretary, P.O. Box 306, Frankenmuth, MI 48734.
To encourage you and give you ideas for
greater participation in mite giving:
Ideas from the
national level will be passed along but congregations are
encouraged to buy
mite boxes for children/Sunday
School programs. These are ordered through the LWML Catalog.
It is a
great mission emphasis for the children to take
part in. It is your chance to have more people
gain knowledge about LWML in general and the
mission grants in particular. Any monies brought
in from your congregations need to be sent in to
the Michigan District to support mission grants
at this level and they in turn send 25% of that
money on to the national level, to support the
grants at that level.
Another idea is to have mite boxes for your
husband and other members in your household who
have money of their own. Many of the women have
placed a mite box where their husbands empty
their pockets so that they are reminded of what
little effort it takes to make a mighty
difference in lives of others. We are reminded to
say a prayer whenever we are able to feed our
mite boxes; prayers that specifically ask for
spreading of the Gospel through these offerings.
Mite Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank You for giving me all that
I have. Bless these mites that I give back to You so that they
can be used to spread the Good News of Jesus' love here and
throughout the world. Amen.
