Today’s Light devotions to the women’s prison in Pierre.
- This quarterly magazine is a daily Bible reading guide, taking readers through the Bible in two years. At the May 2006 LWML SD District Board of Directors meeting, it was approved to order and distribute 25 subscriptions of Today’s Light to the SD State Prison for the women on a yearly basis. In September 2010 it was determined to become an ongoing mission (project) grant.
Student Endowment Fund at the SD LCMS District for students going into church work.
- Each year since 1949, a deaconess scholarship has been granted. In 1974, this scholarship was named the “Jo Carman Deaconess Scholarship” in memory of our tenth district president. In circa 1994, this grant was joined with the LCMS South Dakota District’s Student Endowment Fund, to grant aid to those students who are communicant members in congregations of the LCMS South Dakota District, and who are preparing to serve the church as pastors, teachers, or other full-time servants to the Church, at one of the schools operated by the Synod.
