Mission Journeys volunteer project at 2025 LWMS Convention

Serve those who serve: Join the Mission Journeys volunteer project at the 2025 LWMS Convention

WELS Mission Journeys is excited to partner with WELS Ministry to the Military at the 2025 Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS) Convention. All convention attendees are invited to participate in a special volunteer project focused on supporting active military personnel and their families.

Event Details

• Date: Thursday, June 26
• Time: 2:00–5:00 p.m.
• Location: Arvest Convention Center (onsite)

This hands-on service opportunity will take place before the convention officially begins. Participants can help in two key ways:

• Assemble care packages for deployed service members and their families
• Write personal notes of encouragement, including uplifting Bible passages, to be included inside the care packages (materials for notes will be provided)

Whether you’re looking to serve for a few minutes or a few hours, all are welcome to stop by the Mission Journeys area and take part!

Support the project before you arrive

Want to get involved early? You can purchase items from our Amazon wish lists—either directly from Amazon or as inspiration for purchases from another retailer:

Item purchase & shipping options

• Bring items with you to the Arvest Convention Center on Thursday, June 26 (2–5 p.m.)
• Ship items ahead of time to a local volunteer in Tulsa who will deliver them for you (perfect for those flying to Convention with limited luggage space)

There’s no limit to how much you can give—every item and every note will help brighten the day of someone serving our country.
