Dear Lord, we ask you to be with all women in the Iowa West, Iowa East, Texas, Wyoming, Eastern, Mid-South, and Missouri districts as they plan for, travel to, and attend their conventions this week. We give thanks for all the District Presidents and pray the Lord blesses their efforts going into the convention. For the Senior District Presidents, we thank God for their service, and for the Junior District Presidents, we ask God to bless all they do to His glory. Bless everyone's time together that they might know your love for them and equip them with what they need to serve you. May the Christian fellowship be uplifting, and everything be done to your glory! Keep everyone safe throughout the convention and give them warm welcomes when they reach their home afterwards. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

To everyone planning to attend the tentatively planned post convention Mercy Meals servant event being cancelled. We did not have the minimum needed signed-up. We did put it on the Mercy Meals FB page, but thought we might catch everyone if it was also on the LWML IWD FB page.

Thank you it would be great if we could do this on the future

Mercy meals will give a brief presentation at convention Friday afternoon
