LWML Convention Central

June 25-28, 2009
Portland, Oregon

Summer 2008 - Plan now to attend the LWML 33rd Biennial Convention in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where the host committee will roll out the purple carpet just for you! Set aside June 25–28, 2009, to join your LWML sisters in Christ to “Look to the Hills … God Reigns.” What better place than Mt. Hood and its scenic surroundings to reflect on God’s creation and the assurances we read in Psalm 121:1-2, “I lift my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Begin making plans, reserve the date and encourage other LWML/LCMS women (men and families are welcome, too) to journey with you to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  There is more information to come!  Follow this link for information on the post-convention cruise to Alaska offered by Azumano Travel of Portland.  Cabins are limited--book your reservations now!

Follow the links below for the poster, sketch, shirt order form, and information on the post-convention cruise.  More information will be posted as soon as it's available!
