Willing Workers
is a Lutheran Women’s Missionary League Chapter
receiving their charter in 1942.

WHO ARE WILLING WORKERS? We are women of all ages who want to serve the Lord with gladness! Every female communicant member or the wife of a member of Calvary Lutheran Church is eligible to join our group; annual dues are just $5.00

WHAT DO WE DO? We meet together once a month to discover new ways to serve God, to learn more about Him, and to encourage each other in loving friendship as sisters in Christ. Then the fun really begins as we work for Christ, whether it is raising money for missions, cleaning communion cups, gathering food and clothing for the needy . . .

WHEN DO WE MEET? We usually meet the second Wed. of each month (Sept – May) @ 9am. Check our schedule, because we usually have at least two evening meetings and host special events such as the Mother-Daughter Banquet or family gathering.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL MEETING LIKE? Meetings have an opening devotion, business session, and a secial “program” — an inspirational speaker, a prayer breakfast, . . . Check our schedule to see what enriching event is happening!

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND? Come and see! God wants to stir up your heart to love Him more deeply . . . to serve Him more fully . . . to receive His gifts more appreciatively. You will find that Willing Workers is an instrument of His grace to you.
