Mission Service Activity of the Month
January 2022: Send Valentines to LWML District Mission Grant Recipients
Let’s support and encourage our district LWML mission grant recipients by sending them valentines. Share with them the knowledge that they are loved and are being lifted up in prayer.
What you need to prepare:
- Contact your district LWML Vice President of Gospel Outreach or Mission Grants Committee Chairman for names and addresses.
- Find Christian valentines online and print off different styles or buy boxed valentines at the discount store.
- At your group meeting spend a few minutes adding a personal note or prayer for each ministry.
- Encourage group members to bring postage stamps to the meeting.
- Make a packet of valentines, envelopes, and address labels for each member in your group.
- Ask for one or two volunteers to deliver the valentines to the post office.
Think what a blessing it will be for your district LWML mission grant recipients to receive all these heartfelt messages and prayers.
Extra credit: Take pictures of this service activity and submit them to share on your district website, in your district newsletter, or email them to the LWML Gospel Outreach Committee Chairman.
Gospel Focus
. . . serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality (Romans 12:11b–13).
Devotion as You Plan:
As you plan this service activity, you may want to share with your ladies the devotion: Modern Day Martha.
Prayer as You Plan and Prepare:
Heavenly Father, district LWML mission grant recipients are providing critical services in Your name. This month we lift up to You each of them and the work each person carries out. We pray for Your guiding hand to be upon each of them. We especially pray for Your peace and comfort for their hearts and minds as they show love to the people with whom they work. You are the God of love and we thank You for the direction that You provide. In Jesus’ precious name we pray. Amen.
The Gospel Outreach Committee would love to hear about, and share, your mission service activities! Please contact the Vice President of Gospel Outreach here. Thank you!
Jesus’ love in action helps paint the planet purple.

Activities as We Stay-At-Home
Check with local nursing homes to see if they can use handmade fabric masks for their staff to wear as a measure of protection for the residents they serve. While we realize that the fabric masks are not surgical/medical grade and cannot be used as Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for health care workers, perhaps there are people in care facilities who can use them.
Here are two patterns: Fabric Masks with Elastic and Fabric Masks with Fabric Ties.
