40^th Biennial LWML Convention — Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) invites you to the 2023 LWML Convention to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 22–25, 2023, where participants will “Celebrate the Lord of the Nations.” The LWML Board of Directors selected the following Scripture verse, which is the basis for the theme. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man (Psalm 33:12–13).

Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz, Executive Director of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty will be the keynote speaker. Previously he served as the Speaker of The Lutheran Hour^® radio program. Past LWML Vice President of Special Focus Ministries (2015–2019) Kaye Wolff will lead Bible study, and LWML’s Comic Relief Duo Jan Struck and Abby Goehring will entertain the crowd. There will be early morning Bible studies, mission grant recipient speakers, and of course, a mission pledge walk! Together, thousands of women and men will worship the Lord of the nations together.



Watch for convention details to be found in the winter issue of the Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly coming soon.
