Enjoy another night out, Kristina!
For our spring campaign, we planned to present pastors' wives with a gift card for a night out when at least 10 NEW partners from their congregation(s) stepped up with a gift to LFS. And we've been busy delivering them! The congregation of Zion Lutheran Church in Kramer, North Dakota, presented a gift card to Kristina Bonine, wife of Pastor Jonathan Bonine, during Sunday Service.

THANK YOU Zion Lutheran family for partnering with LFS and earning a night out for Kristina and Rev. Bonine!

More to come!

Great news for pastor's wives! For years, Koinonia Groups have provided Christ-centered support and connection for women in ministry. Now, by popular request, we're adding TWO NEW EVENING GROUPS this fall!

If work, family, or ministry responsibilities have made daytime participation difficult, these new evening options were created with you in mind. We're adding Tuesdays at 7 PM Central (starting September 8), and Mondays at 7 PM Central (starting October 12).

We'd love to welcome you. Learn more and register: https://lutheranfamilyservice.org/koinonia/
