Purpose Statement
The Christian Life Committee of the LWML Kansas District provides guidance to the women of the Kansas District on how to find resources and programs to help them and their societies grow in faith.
Christian Life comprises a number of events, resources, and tools to grow your faith.
2025 Christian Life Retreat
“Unshaken: Standing on the Rock”
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29
The LWML Kansas District invites the women of Kansas to Salina for the 2025 Christian Life Retreat. The Christian Life Committee is excited to announce that this year’s speaker will be Donna Snow. Join us for a relaxing weekend of connecting with old friends and meeting new ones as we stand Unshaken on the ROCK. See you November 7th and 8th in Salina at the Hilton Garden Inn!
WHEN: November 7-8, 2025
WHERE: Hilton Garden Inn and Convention Center, 3220 S. 9th Street, Salina, KS 67401But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy … (Psalm 5:11a).
2025 LWML Prayer Service
The 2025 Prayer Service is based on the Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5:1–12.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy … (Psalm 5:11a).
The Beatitudes are some of the most beloved words of Jesus. In them, Jesus highlights people in various situations of life, situations that are not always easy to endure — or even envision — as a child of God. Yet, our Lord calls the people in each condition “blessed” and assures each of them of their place in the kingdom of heaven. As you hear the precious Beatitudes from our Lord and pray for people in the various stages of life, may you indeed be blessed and encouraged in your life of faith. May your mind be drawn to the work of Christ, His life, and His death and resurrection which bless you each day until He brings you home to the kingdom of heaven forever.
Faith Building
Faith Building Help for Groups is the planner for 2021–2023. This planning resource includes over 50 new devotions, songs, Bible studies, and sketches to encourage your faith. Every Bible study, devotion, sketch, and song contained in this manual has been LCMS doctrinally reviewed so you can use them with confidence knowing that they truthfully proclaim God’s Word. The materials in this manual have been designed to help you reach the “woman in the pew” so that she can grow spiritually, joyfully join her LWML sisters in Christ, and spread the Word in service to Him.
A new two year collection is available following each national convention!

Prayer Mail (Pmail)
“Pray for those in need with LWML”
Do you have a prayer request or thanksgiving to be circulated? If you’d like to be included in the LWML Kansas District Prayer Mail network, send your name and email address to our coordinator Velma Bass. Requests, updates and thanksgivings are distributed in “blind copy” fashion so your email address is not shared with anyone else.
More than 100 LWML brothers and sisters participate in this email sharing.
Mustard Seed Devotions
“A vibrant tool for Christian growth and Gospel sharing”
The seed of the mustard plant is among the smallest of seeds, yet from this small seed grows a large bush. Jesus used the analogy of a mustard seed to show how something small and seemingly inconsequential can have a powerful impact. In 1971 the LWML developed a new series of short personal Bible studies called Mustard Seeds. Mustard Seed packets are used both for personal Bible study & as an evangelism or witness tool.

Visual Faith® Ministry
If you enjoyed the coloring note cards designed by Pat Maier and presented by Eden Keefe at the Christian Life Retreat November 2017 OR if you are just interested in what the “Visual Faith® Ministry” buzz is about, check out the new resources available on the Visual Faith® Ministry website www.visualfaithmin.org
This site was founded by Connie Denninger, the wife of LCMS Southeastern District President Emeritus, and Pat Maier, wife of LCMS Michigan District President Emeritus. In the words of Eden Keefe “This is an AMAZING website!” Mostly, they are all free printables for church, school, or personal use. You “add them to your cart” as you browse and then “check out”, but after check out they are available as a free download to you and are also sent to your email address. Check it out!
Table Prayer and Mite Offering Songs
A great way to bring joy and fellowship to your group or zone meetings is to sing praises to the Lord! This new resource brings together numerous great table prayers set to familiar tunes as well as a mite offering prayer.
Next time your group or zone gathers for a meal, why not thank the Lord by SINGING His praises!
