The 2017 Tulsa Zone Fall Fest was held at Christ the Redeemer,

breakfast provided by Christ the Redeemer Society, Susan Postier,

Rejoice, A Reformation Bible Study" on Psalm 32.
Patti Ross, National LWML President, was the Mission Speaker. She
talked about what has happened during the last two years and shared
what to expect in the coming two year. She said the goals for LWML
are to: include mentoring with younger women; encourage more
involvement of Pastors and Seminarians so they know we are here as
their partners and their assistants; increase communication with
Districts that they become stronger over the next 2 years; and to
increase awareness about Giving Tuesday, as more than $23,000 was
raised in 2016 toward the LWML 2015-2017 Mission Goal. President
Patti shared her experiences meeting some of the Mission Grant
recipients. She also played the
2017 LWML Logo Reveal video and talked about the meaning of the
new logo.
Oklahoma District President, Dianna Just made a few introductions
and gave her report to the group. She said the next event for YWR is
Cookies for Courage on November 18 when they will gather to decorate
sugar cookies and deliver to police and fire stations. The District
has collected $76,000 of the 2016-2018 Mission Grants goal of
$103,000. Dianna asked everyone to gather eye glasses for the OK
District MOST Mission Trip in March to Lake Amatitlan, Guatemala.
She encouraged everyone to attend the"Be Refreshed at Lavender
Springs Spa" District Fall Retreat in Hinton, OK October 20-21. Mark
