Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I would like to wish each of you a Happy New Year and let you know that each of you is in my prayers as we are blessed to be one of God’s chosen children and have been given wonderful gifts to serve him where he has chosen for us to serve. The LWML gives us so many ways to serve and be in his Word. Released on the LWML website is the prayer service for 2023. It is designed for both small and large groups and a great way to be in the Word and have fellowship with your sisters in Christ. The theme is “My Soul Rejoices: A service of song and prayer.” The verse for the service is: But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy … (Psalm 5:11a). In April and May your Assembly of Leaders team will be leading 3 get togethers, one in Billings, another in Great Falls and then in Missoula. We had such a great time learning new ways to serve and lead and are so excited to share it with you. Milwaukee here we come. Mark your calendars for the LWML convention coming up June 22-25. Five delegates, two YWR’s, one pastor and myself, as your president will make up the Montana delegation and share it with you in the months following. It is my prayer that many of you from our district will be joining us under the theme “Celebrate the Lord of the Nations”. If you have never been to a convention now is a wonderful time to attend. Please know that whatever you do for the LWML is greatly appreciated by all of us. May we each use our gifts where God has chosen us to serve, to help make the Montana District LWML thrive in this New Year. Blessed to serve with each of you, President Pam
