The IDE LLL in 2008

The IDE Board of the International Lutheran Laymen’s League invites the congregations who made bracelets last year for the State Fair to do so again this year. The goal is 300 bracelets per congregation. The finished bracelets will be collected at the April 19th LLL convention at Camp IO-DIS-ECA. (Please include a note with the bracelets so we will know which congregations have participated.)

The 65th Annual IDE LLL convention will be, in the words of our League President, “Something they have never experienced before.” The speaker will be Rev. Terry Dittmer, Director of LCMS Youth Ministry. The event will focus on ways to encourage family participation in church life with the goal of building up Sunday Schools and encouraging youth. Everyone interested in these vital topics is invited to attend.

When 2008 is over, the members of IDE’s LLL pray that by these efforts many more people will be talking to their un-churched friends about their Lord and Savior, their church body, their congregation, and mission tools such as the Lutheran Hour.
