To my Sisters in Christ in the South Wisconsin District LWML:
A big “thank you” to each of you for your support of my candidacy at the LWML convention in Peoria this past June. Knowing you were praying for God’s will to be done not only for me, but more importantly, for our LWML, meant a lot.
I am humbled and grateful to God for the opportunity to serve Him as Vice President of Organizational Resources. I will do my best, with the help of God, to carry out the duties of the office with grace and joy.
Please pray that as we each serve God in our own unique way, we keep the vision of the LWML in focus, study His word, grow in His love, and do all we can to spread the Good News of salvation to everyone near and far. A verse from the closing worship service in Peoria sums it up:
We all are called to service, to witness in God’s name.
Our ministries are diff’rent; our purpose is the same:
To touch the lives of others with God’s surprising grace,
So ev’ry folk and nation may feel God’s warm embrace.
