REASONS FOR JOINING A SERVICE ORGANIZATION
(Taken from Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly, Summer 1989)
 
Why do women join a group such as the LWML?
     1. To be needed
     2. To help others
     3. To make a difference (in society; in an organization)
     4. To  learn new skills or use skills already developed
     5. To belong to a caring community
     6. To feel accepted
     7. To grow in faith
     8. To share God-given talents
     9. To support cases believed in

Does your LWML society provide opportunities for fulfillment in these areas so women will want to become a part of it?
 
Keep your women from losing interest by:
        - using members’ time well.  Busy work without a purpose is a waste of time and a sure way to lose members;
        - spreading the workload rather than overburdening a few;
        - recognizing a job well done.

Do not take people for granted.  I Thessalonians 5:11 says we are to “encourage one another and build each other up…”

Women can be a powerful force in fulfilling the Great Commission.  Your LWML society can be a catalyst for involving the many talented, dedicated women in your church!
