The Memorial Women in Mission collect mites year-round for the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML). Once per month, we have Mite Box Day at Memorial! On this Sunday, after worship service, a volunteer from the Women in Mission will hold the “giant Mite box” to receive your loose change. Every penny makes a big difference!
Based on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1–4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” — offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program.

We have plenty of small Mite boxes to give you one to keep in your home to collect spare pocket change throughout the week. Child-themed Mite boxes are also available to serve as fun missional piggy banks for your children.
When your Mite box gets full, simply bring it in and swap it for an empty one! If you have any questions, please contact any of the wonderful Women in Mission at Memorial.
