Equipping Saints to Serve is the planner for 2023–2025. This planning resource includes over 50 devotions, Bible studies, and sketches to encourage your faith. This two year planner replaces the previous title, Faith Building Help for Groups.

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–13).
One of the greatest joys as Lutheran Women in Mission is to use the gifts with which we have been equipped to proclaim the glory of the Triune God and tell the truth that salvation is found only in Him. The purpose of the Equipping Saints to Serve manual is to help you do this with joy! Every Bible study, devotion, litany, sketch, or program contained in this manual has been LCMS doctrinally reviewed so you can use them with confidence knowing that they truthfully proclaim God’s Word. The materials in this manual have been designed to help you reach the “woman in the pew” so that she can grow spiritually, joyfully join her LWML sisters in Christ, and spread the Word in service to Him.
