LUTHERAN WOMEN'S MISSIONARY LEAGUE LADIES’ GUILD - October 2018

Most likely as you read this Ann Austin, Sharon Johnson, Elaine Long, and Lonna McEwen are in Orlando attending the FL-GA LWML District Convention. Three of us are voting delegates. Also, Lizzie will be attending with our Top Dog, Cindy Baldwin and handler, Lois Lucas! Such an exciting and uplifting experience. We look forward to reporting the chosen mite grants for the next two years, newly elected officers, speakers and outreach booths of interest. We look forward to meeting Phil, founder of Phil’s Friends, a Christian cancer support organization. Actually, I met him in Des Moines at the LWML National Convention when I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I became a recipient of their program and they became one of our outreach charities we give to each year.

October is going to be a busy month.

Our monthly meeting will be October 3rd at noon. Bring your own lunch; dessert will be furnished. Sharing of the convention will be a big part of our time together.

October 7th will be Mite Sunday and LWML 
Sunday. There will be mite boxes available for those that need one and newly chosen mite grants will be shared.

Saturday, October 13th will be our second Ladies’ Fellowship and Luncheon. 10:45-1. We will continue with our Bible study, “Sip, Savor, and Drink Deeply” and share some of the convention highlights. Please remember to sign-up.

Saturday, October 20th, we will share rides as we travel to St. Paul’s Lutheran in Statesboro for the East Central GA LWML Fall Zone Rally. 9-2. $10.00 registration includes a light breakfast and lunch.

Novemberfest is fast approaching. Spread the word. Flyers available. Help is needed with the BarBQ---lots to prepare, many helpers make it easier. Tickets will be available soon, so you can put your order in for a whole butt and buy your luncheon ticket.

Serving the Lord with Gladness,
Lonna McEwen,
Trinity LWML Ladies Guild President

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF QUILTERS - October 2018
 

LWR Quilters have returned to the Education building to make new quilts. We have 4 tops to be layered and tied. This last session we realized we had fabric in boxes which were all mixed. So, we spent 2 hours separating and then pulling fabric together which would make a new top, maybe with the addition of another yard of fabric to pull it all together. It was amazing! We ended up with 21 packets to make 21 tops! So, now we need our quilters back to the sewing machines to finish the tops. Please join us on Tuesdays, October 9th and 23, from 10 to 1 p.m. Refreshments usually served. If there is a need to change a date, we will try to have it in the Sunday bulletin prior to these dates.

Sharing God's talents,
Rosemary Gerdes (912-644-0313)
