Happy New Year! How fast 2022 is flying already. By the time you read this, we will be well into the penitential season of Lent and preparing to celebrate our Risen Christ on Easter!
Because time is moving so quickly, I want to remind you about the 80th Anniversary of LWML which will be celebrated by the districts. Each member, group, zone or district is encouraged to reflect God’s love by blessing others with 80 of something, remembering events from the last 80 years, or sharing legacy concepts for carrying forth the LWML mission. Be sure and take a picture of your group’s 80 and send them to Linda Roscoe, Deb Poese and Margaret Martens -- their contact information is at the back of the Chesapeake Breeze. We are planning a montage of your activities at the 2022 LWML District Convention in September.
In the meantime, I encourage you to “feed your Mite Box” and send your Mites to our District Financial Secretary, so that we can reach our mission goal of $100,000 for the biennium, which is ending June 30. Remember, 25 cents of every dollar sent as Mites to the Chesapeake District is for LWMLnational grants.
I encourage you to pray. Pray that Mites are received to fund the grants chosen at the 2021 LWML National convention and the 2020 Chesapeake District convention. Pray for the mission grant recipients and the work that they do for the glory of God.
Most of all, pray for continued blessings on the LWML as we celebrate 80 years of joyful service!
Your LWML Sister,
Teresa Tester
