President's Message:
On behalf of the women of the New England District Lutheran Women’s
Missionary League welcome to
the New England District’s Web site. Thank you for visiting. Please take
a few minutes to browse and explore what is happening in New England, and see what resources are available for your daily walk with the Lord. It is my privilege to serve with the other officers and committees of the New England District. As we listen to hear God’s call for each of us
our goal is to reach out to all the women of our district, nation and
the world providing spiritual growth and opportunities to use their
gifts to serve others.

LWML-NED Young Woman Representative
Sage Browne has been chosen as the LWML-NED Young Woman Re
presentative
to the LWML Convention in Portland, Oregon, June 25-28, 2009. She is
a member of the Lutheran Church of The Savior, Bedford, Mass. where
she has been worshipping all her life.
Sage has been active in the LWML in her church for a few years and has also attended one of the district gatherings. She enjoys being a part of the mission projects and giving mites. Last year, she gave a presentation to the women's group in her church after a mission trip to South Africa. She has also been a very active leader in the church's Vacation Bible School program for many years, a regular volunteer at the Central Food Ministry, Lowell, Mass., a participant in a variety of short-term mission trips through the church, and is currently serving as the church council secretary. As special strengths, she feels God has given her compassion for others, a gentle spirit, the gift of organization, and the gift of creativity with teaching.
When asked how she "serves the Lord with gladness" in her life, Sage replied... "For me, it starts with conforming my mind to that of Christ's. Then it is easier to recognize the opportunities He presents. It is a joy to be God's hands and feet in the world bringing glory to Him in every circumstance." Sage expressed her interest in seeing and learning more about mission projects that LWML supports and gaining ideas from other women regarding activities they have done by attending the national LWML convention. "I've heard that it is an exciting and uplifting event," she said.
Congratulations, Sage! We all look forward to seeing you at future LWML gatherings!
