The sisters in the deaconess community have strongly
influenced my life. In them, I continue to experience relationships
that not only speak a spiritual language that encourages deeper
soul growth and servanthood, but that have brought to me deep meaningful
friendships. For me, stories and examples of the many ways deaconesses
serve God and the world broaden, by example, the horizon for our
discipleship.
I believe in God’s ministry through this community and I
support the LDA with regular financial gifts and have chosen to
include them in my will. In this way my stewardship extends beyond
my life and also provides at the time of my death.
I give thanks for my deaconess friends, this ministry and the
many who have and will answer God’s call to serve in the Lutheran
Deaconess Community.
