Occurs: Every 5th Sunday of the Month
The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) at Trinity has designated each 5th Sunday of the month as Mite Sunday — a special opportunity to support gospel-centered mission work in our community and beyond.
🟣 What are Mites?
“Mites” are based on the Biblical account of the widow in Luke 21:1–4, who gave two small copper coins—everything she had. Though her gift was small, it was given with great faith. Inspired by her example, the LWML collects small offerings (our own “mites”) that, when combined together, make a powerful impact for missions.
🟣 How Do Mites Support Missions?
Trinity’s LWML group collects Mites year-round through:
-
Individual mite boxes
-
Generous contributions from church members
-
The annual Mighty Mite Bake Sale
Together, these small gifts total approximately $2,500 each year — all of which goes directly to mission grants through the national and South Wisconsin District LWML.
Currently, the South Wisconsin District is working toward Grant #5 — $30,000 for Journey’s Lutheran School.
🟣 What Happens During a Mite Month?
Throughout the month, Mite Boxes will be placed around campus. You’re encouraged to:
✅ Drop in coins or a small offering whenever you’re able
✅ Pick up your own Mite Box to collect at home
✅ Bring back your filled boxes on the 5th Sunday, when all the Mite offerings will be brought forward and blessed during worship
🟣 Don’t Forget — Wear Purple!
On each 5th Sunday, everyone is invited to wear purple in support of LWML and its mission efforts!
