The women of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Greenwood SC are excited to host the Fall
Conference for the Foothills region on Saturday, Nov. 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with
registration beginning at 9:30 a.m. A light lunch will be served.

Please plan to join us as we gather together to celebrate and act boldly on our faith in Jesus Christ. Being called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are called to rejoin our faith with deeds. As His disciples, we are called to serve and love all of God’s children in our community, our state, and the world; especially those that are with struggling food and housing insecurities.

Our guest speaker will be Mrs. Mary Ann Stroup, Coordinator of Immanuel’s Children.
This nonprofit organization’s mission is to work in conjunction with District 50 school
district to identify children struggling with food and/or housing insecurity. Once identified,
various local organizations come together to assist in providing food and housing needs to
these children in a dignified and confidential manner so that they can learn and grow in a
safe, secure and healthy environment.
If you are planning to attend, please contact Beth Fischer by Wednesday, October 23rd @ (864)

Seasoned with Love

The women of St. Michael Lutheran Church WELCA are looking forward to hosting the Fall Foothills Conference on Saturday, October 21, from 10:00AM to 2:00PM in the church’s fellowship hall. You will be welcomed at the 9:30 a.m. registration with a light breakfast and coffee/juice.

We invite you to join us as a woman of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a child of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The guest speaker will be Mandy Learo, a representative of Jasmine Road in Greenville, whose mission is to provide a path to healing and employment for women survivors of sex trafficking, prostitution and addiction. Jasmine Road is modeled after the very successful Thistle Farms non profit which was founded over 20 years ago in Nashville, TN. Join us to hear about the
mission, vision, history, residential program, and social enterprises that support and address the healing needs of each woman in this program. Our catered lunch will be prepared by Jasmine Kitchen, one of the numerous recovery opportunities that is a part of Jasmine Road.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will be hosting the WELCA Spring Foothills Conference in our Fellowship Hall on April 22, 2023 (10:00 am to 12:30 pm).  Jane Cahaly will be our guest speaker, so in case you missed it before, come to hear her presentation on the Salt & Light Ministries.  All women of the church are welcome to attend if you are in a circle group or not.  The two circle groups, along with the WELCA board, are busy planning this event and the theme will be “God’s Spring Blessings.”  A light continental breakfast as well as lunch will be served.  There is no charge for this event, but the group does take up a freewill offering.

If you plan to attend, please contact Beth Fischer 864-933-7446 by April 9 so we can get a count of the number attending.

   

ALL ladies of all ages are welcome to attend either (or both) circle groups.  Katie’s Ladies meet on the 2^nd Tuesday morning each month at 10:00, and Luther’s Ladies meet on the 3^rd Thursday evening at 6:00.  Both meet in the office conference room.  Contact Beth Cribbe for questions about the morning group and Beth Fischer about the evening group.  Attending circle groups is a good way to get to know the ladies in our church and share God’s love.
