Take Your Pick //// Giving Options There is no doubt! Everyone knows that Lutheran Women in Mission not only talk about giving to missions; they DO it! However, you may not know the many different options for your gifts. The most familiar is the Mite Box™ available through your district. Children can also learn the joy of giving with their own Children's Mite Box™, which comes with special thank you stickers. Order from the LWML catalog #15905. Envelopes are another means to respond to God's love with your gifts. You'll find them in the Quarterly, and included with catalog orders and other correspondence.

LWML Envelopes are also available as one selection for your church offering envelope boxes. Contact Concordia Publishing House for information.
