Purpose Statement
The Christian Life Committee of the LWML Kansas District provides guidance to the women of the Kansas District on how to find resources and programs to help them and their societies grow in faith.
Christian Life comprises a number of events, resources, and tools to grow your faith.
2026 LWML Prayer Service
P.R.A.Y.E.R. — Praise, Remember, Ask, Yield, Excitement, Rejoice
The 2026 LWML Prayer Service, based on the acronym P.R.A.Y.E.R. — Praise, Remember, Ask, Yield, Excitement, Rejoice — is a classic, yet updated, service from over a decade ago.
Rev. Henke wrote that the service “prompts the participants to remember that God does not speak to His children in prayer. Rather, His children speak to Him, assured that He readily speaks to them in His Word and in the Sacraments, as the Holy Spirit gives His divine counsel through very clear direction or, sometimes, His ‘nudging.’”
Planner
Seek. Pray. Serve. 2025-2027 Planner
As Lutheran Women in Mission, we seek our Lord in His Word, we come to Him with our prayers, and, in knowing Him, we serve Him with gladness by loving our neighbor and proclaiming the Good News of salvation in Jesus. The materials in this manual have been designed to help participants joyfully join their LWML sisters in Christ both to grow spiritually and to serve Him by spreading the Word. Each item in this manual has been LCMS doctrinally reviewed so you can use them with confidence, knowing that they truthfully proclaim God’s Word.

Prayer Walks
Prayer walks from past Kansas Assembly of Leaders (KAOL) and conventions.
Mustard Seed Devotions
“A vibrant tool for Christian growth and Gospel sharing”
The seed of the mustard plant is among the smallest of seeds, yet from this small seed grows a large bush. Jesus used the analogy of a mustard seed to show how something small and seemingly inconsequential can have a powerful impact. In 1971 the LWML developed a new series of short personal Bible studies called Mustard Seeds. Mustard Seed packets are used both for personal Bible study & as an evangelism or witness tool.

Visual Faith® Ministry
If you enjoyed the coloring note cards designed by Pat Maier and presented by Eden Keefe at the Christian Life Retreat November 2017 OR if you are just interested in what the “Visual Faith® Ministry” buzz is about, check out the new resources available on the Visual Faith® Ministry website www.visualfaithmin.org
This site was founded by Connie Denninger, the wife of LCMS Southeastern District President Emeritus, and Pat Maier, wife of LCMS Michigan District President Emeritus. In the words of Eden Keefe “This is an AMAZING website!” Mostly, they are all free printables for church, school, or personal use. You “add them to your cart” as you browse and then “check out”, but after check out they are available as a free download to you and are also sent to your email address. Check it out!
Table Prayer and Mite Offering Songs
A great way to bring joy and fellowship to your group or zone meetings is to sing praises to the Lord! This new resource brings together numerous great table prayers set to familiar tunes as well as a mite offering prayer.
Next time your group or zone gathers for a meal, why not thank the Lord by SINGING His praises!
