Energize Membership

 


The VERY, VERY BEST METHOD to encourage LWML membership is to: Personally care

about each woman in the congregation as Jesus cares for her. Get to know her, be interested

 in her, share with her, be enthusiastic about LWML, encourage her to become involved

in some aspect of LWML with you.


YOUR POSITIVE WORDS AND ATTITUDES ABOUT LWML ENERGIZES OTHERS!!!


**************************************************************************
Ideas to Energize Membership
 

New Brides—Have a recipe shower at a meeting. Visit the new bride and give her the
recipes and a copy of Marriage Matters and/or She Said...He Said, from the LWML Catalog.


Mothers of New Babies—Present mothers with Lead Me, Lord, through...Motherhood.
Present the new baby with an LWML bear.


          Small Bible Study Groups— Care and Share around the Word
                                                Confirmand Parents Study for parents during time of students 

                                                           confirmation class

                                                Working Women 1/2 hour study at NOON—provide drinks
                                                Prayer and Praise 7:00-7:30 a.m. for working women

REMEMBER—Each woman in the congregation will not be involved in every aspect of the Lutheran Woman's Missionary League. Accept her where she is—but continue to challenge and share with her

the various areas of LWML BE ALL YOU CAN BE—AN ENERGIZED LWML MEMBER, SERVING THE LORD

WITH GLADNESS (Energize Membership, is updated from the Energizer Kit, previously published by the LWML)

 


Fellowship is Fun - Want to add a little spice to your meetings? Suggest that everyone bring the same object to the meeting. For example, everyone could bring a cross, a teacup, a hat. Then each woman explains her item, where it came from, what special significance it has...etc.   Have everyone bring ten pennies. At the beginning of the meeting explain that a certain word (can’t, won’t, no) is forbidden during the meeting. If someone is caught using the word, she must forfeit a penny to the person who caught her. At the end of the meeting, the one with the most pennies gets a small prize and all the pennies go to mites!
