YORKTON, Sask. – From June 7-9, 2019, the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League-Canada (LWMLC) Central District Convention met for business and fellowship. District President Pam Burns called the event “a mountain top experience.”

Highlights included an ingathering of 250 prayer cards, and financial donations to be distributed to the three camps; Aurora (Thunder Bay, Ontario), Jackfish (Roblin, Manitoba), and Lutherland (Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan). Speakers and presenters included Rev. Dr. Richard Beinert, Rev. Robert Grout, Rev. Lucas Albrecht, Rev. Paulo Brum, Rev. Will Rose, Dr. Leah Koetting Block, and Rev. Dr. James Gimbel.

Business included bylaw revisions, elections, and distributing mission grants. Approximately thirty ladies participated in a mission walk at Ravine Ecological Preserve, raising almost $8,000 to support the three camps. A turkey banquet was provided, followed by a presentation from National LWMLC President Linda Long. She also presented thirty-one anniversary certificates to societies celebrating twenty-five to sixty-five years of service. Special appreciation gifts were given to all those who have served on the board and committees from 2013 to present.
