(Lutherans in Fellowship and Evangelism)

WOL Convention

Women of LIFE
Conference
2010 Convention
of The AALC

“Acknowledging that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Divine Head of the Church, and desiring in our day to follow and serve Him, we dedicate ourselves to the furtherance of His Kingdom, by a stewardship of life and service, to the glory of the Triune God.”

Bible Study

We have chosen NOT to be a separate entity unto ourselves.  Therefore, we are governed by the constitution of The AALC and have at least one clergy representative on our Commission to safeguard the theological correctness of our Bible studies.  We never want to state unknowingly anything that would be contrary to our belief that the BIBLE is truly the divinely inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God.

Each year Women of L.I.F.E. leadership or AALC Pastors have written Bible studies using a 12 month format. Some groups study together monthly, others meet weekly with the same study at their pace. There is a study guide to facilitate discussion and for clarification and correct Biblical answers.

Current, next year’s, and past studies and guides, as well as a Resource Bank Catalogue, are available by contacting our Materials Resource Coordinator, Bonnie Ohlrich, at bonnieohlrich@embarqmail.com.

Bible Study for 2012

"No More Excuses"
A look at how God uses ordinary people
in extraordinary ways

was prepared by Kathy Awtrey
Deaconess, AALC
Mountain View Lutheran Church
Thornton, Colorado

 

 "So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell,

tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it?

For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf.

His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!" 
— Martin Luther

If you feel like GOD can't use YOU, just remember...

Noah was a drunk
Sarah was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Rahab was a prostitute
Bathsheba was an adulteress
David was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once,
Zacchaeus was too small
Paul was too religious...
AND Lazarus was dead! 

No more excuses!!! God can use you to your full potential, right where you are.
Remember - You aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

Our second focus is to be a mission-minded organization dedicating our talents and resources to both local and foreign mission endeavors to zealously proclaim the GOOD NEWS about Jesus Christ, urging men and women to repent of their sins and to put their trust in Jesus as their only Savior and to make Him Lord of their life.

Our 2012 Thank Offering will be used to support Mission ministries supported by The AALC.

“Obey the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart. Remember the great things He has done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24)

Membership

All confirmed women of The AALC are members of The American Association of Lutheran Churches’ Women of L.I.F.E.  It is recognized that some women will serve in areas of Christian service other than the Women’s Commission and congregation circles.  Women who serve in the congregation in such areas as: Choir, Sunday School, Altar Guild, Cradle Roll etc. are still a part of The AALC Women of L.I.F.E.  It is recognized that some women, because of small children, handicapped, aged or infirmed members of the family may not be able to take responsibilities in other Christian service, at least for awhile.  ALL women of the congregation beyond confirmation age; however, ARE the concern of The AALC Women of L.I.F.E. and should be considered in planning.
