ONLINE – Lutheran Women’s Missionary League-Canada (LWMLC) will hold its upcoming national convention online from July 8-11, 2021.

The theme of the convention is “Christ Lives in Me” (Galatians 2:20). The LWMLC’s National Council decided in September that, as a result of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 convention would be held virtually.

Keynote speaker for the online event will be Sandra Schaefer. Schaefer is a pastor’s wife, teacher, mother, and homeschooler. LCC President Timothy Teuscher will serve as guest preacher for the opening service.

Other speakers include Rev. Jan Pastucha (grief counselling); Dcn. Dr. Jennifer Frim (diaconal training); and Rev. Steven Harold and Samantha Neeb (youth worker).

Though online this year, the convention will still see regular business conducted such as elections, as well as decisions on the distribution of Mission Grants for the next triennium. Other activities, like the Servant Events, are being retooled to be done in local settings.

Further information on the convention will be made available via the LWMLC’s Facebook page and website at www.lutheranwomen.ca/events/conventions/
