It’s not too late for

Anniversary of the WMF of the AFLC at this event. It

Minnesota. Name tags and meal tickets
will be available for you to pick up between 8: 00
and 8: 45 a.m. The Registration form for WMF Day is available

must be postmarked no later than May 31, 2012.
The
program will begin promptly at 8: 45
a.m. with a prelude provided by the 2012 Ambassadors from AFLBS. We will be privileged to have our Bible study
led by Faylin Myhre , Abercrombie,
North Dakota. She is the writer of this
year’s WMF Bible study, Pearls
for a Princess. Come and
study the Word as presented to us in the theme:
“Thus Has the Lord Helped Us” from I Samuel 7: 12. A Memorial Service will be held to honor all
of the past WMF officers who have gone on before us as well as women in your
districts who have died in the last year.
Our business meeting will include the election of a new president and a
new corresponding secretary.
In the
afternoon, workshops will be led by former Executive Secretary of the WMF,
Karen Knudsvig of Buxton, North Dakota, Sarah Nelson, a former AFLC Missionary
from Ontonagon, Michigan, and Jeremy and Lacey Crowell, working in Naknek,
Alaska, with Home Missions. At our
banquet that evening we will honor past presidents of the WMF and have them
share short thoughts about their time as president of the WMF.
On
Wednesday, June 13, at 7: 00 a.m. we
will hold a WMF Breakfast that is open to EVERY woman of the WMF. This will be held at Our Saviour’s Lutheran
Church in Thief River Falls. We will
have a mission emphasis with Pam Olson, from Savage, Minnesota, speaking to
us. Pam’s husband, Kevin, is the
director of the Ambassador Institute. Come
early, be blessed again by the Word of God, and be challenged in hearing about
the mission work of the AFLC.
After the
WMF Missions Breakfast the Advisory Committee of the WMF will meet. This committee includes all district
presidents (or their delegates) and Advisory members where there is no
organized WMF District. We encourage you
to come and meet the new WMF President and Corresponding Secretary. You can share your comments and concerns with
the WMF board. This meeting will start
about 8: 00 (right after the
breakfast) and last until about 9: 00. We should not miss out on too much of the
beginning of the AFLC Conference on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday
evening will be our Mission Festival Service, at 7: 00
p.m. at Lincoln High School Auditorium.
Pastor Nate Jore, missionary to Uganda, is scheduled to speak to us on
the WMF conference theme. We will
recognize all AFLC missionaries and former missionaries at this service. A
reception will be held after the service in honor of the 50 years of the AFLC
as well as all the missionaries who have served and are serving the Lord in
AFLC Missions.
COME AND BE BLESSED!
Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the program beginning at 9 a.m.
