  • Monthly Meetings

    All women of Zion – and your friends! - are welcomed and encouraged to join Zion’s Lutheran Women in Mission monthly gatherings.  We typically meet on the second Sunday of the month at 11:30 in the Zion room starting with a light refreshment followed by a speaker related to a mission, along with a collection opportunity to support a need.

    Mite Boxes – what are they and why?

    From Scripture we read; Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you; this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything – all she had to live on" (Mark 12:41-43 NIV).

    For many years, LWML women have gathered coins and dollars (“mites”) in small containers called Mite Boxes accompanied by a prayer that God would use the funds to spread His Word. The Mite Box has changed in looks over the years, but the purpose has remained the same: to share the Gospel. 

    We invite you and your family to keep a mite box in your home where you can collect change (and dollars or checks!) to donate toward Lutheran Women in Mission worldwide mission projects.  Bring your mites to a monthly LWML meeting, to the large mite box in the back of the church or to the church/school office, or use the QR code to donate on-line (select Anaheim: Zion Evangelical 14)
