MOWIM

2nd Saturday of the month from 9:30am to 11:00am - Conference Room

"Mt. Olive Women In Mission" is a society at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church that is part of the "Lutheran Women's Missionary League" — a national organization of women of the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod.  We women at Mt. Olive work together to serve our Lord by serving others.  We serve in several ways: we make quilts each year and give them along with other collected items to Lutheran World Relief where they go around the world to help those in need; we collect items and donate them to the New Life Center at New Braunfels — a home for girls that is run by Lutheran Social Services; we support several local organizations including the Austin and Dripping Springs food pantries, youth mission opportunities, and spiritual renewals through retreats for the women of the church.  We also participate in mission opportunities through the LWML Capitol Zone and the LWML Texas District both of which we are associated.  All women of Mt. Olive are invited to be involved in all the activities of "MOWIM" — our acronym for Mt. Olive Women In Mission. For more information, please email Lynel Werchan at lkwerchan@gmail.com.
