The grant will help fund Women of the WELS retreats in eight regions of the United States. The retreats will provide spiritual growth.
Organizers hope to reach out to women of all ages, especially young women.
Participants will learn about LWMS and mission support. Each year AAL designates Network grant funding to a group of Lutheran affiliate organizations that have a similar yet broad-based mission. AAL, based in Appleton, Wis., is a fraternal benefit society of 1.7 million members who are joined together for insurance, education and volunteer opportunities. AAL supports the work of Lutheran church bodies, educational institutions and other Lutheran organizations. Return to AAL's Home Page .
