1 Friends, Inc. (in Christ) NEWSLETTER OF SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA SYNODICAL WOMEN S ORGANIZATION WOMEN OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA VOLUME XXVIII NO 4 FALL 2016 PRESIDENT S REPORT We had a refreshing weekend retreat at Camp Lutherlyn again. Through the Bible studies led by the Rev. Dr. Angela Zimmann and the Rev. Jayne Thompson, we explored how we can live out Micah 6:8 and how we are already living it out. Just as the people of God in the book of Micah were reminded of what the Lord desires of them, so were we at retreat. The Lord does not require burnt offerings or offerings of oil but the Lord requires us to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. Loving kindness is meeting the crisis need. Doing justice is then fixing things so the crisis does not happen again. Walking humbly is then intentionally moving forward with faith. We are really good at loving kindness and providing for people when they are in need but what justice are we doing to make sure that the need does not happen again. Do we even really know how to take the next step to fix things? If you do not know what to do next, I encourage you to start with LAMPa (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in PA). This is a local ministry that brings crisis situations to our state s leaders so that they are more informed on legislation that they are voting on and how it gives a fix to those crisis situations. zones, that is when we walk intentionally with faith. God often calls us to walk where we do not want to walk. As we take those first steps or actions, we take them with faith. As we continue the walk, we encourage others to find their own walk. They draw faith and inspiration from us and start their own walk. So what crisis will find you loving kindness, doing justice and walking humbly thru faith? WEEKEND RETREAT We gathered once again with the ladies from Northwest PA for our annual Weekend Retreat. We had about 116 ladies. The ladies colored and painted. We learned about Katie Luther, Immigration, Therapy Dogs, Reiki, and Gettysburg Seminary. We walked around Lutherlyn, exercised, played games, and sang. If you were unable to join us this year, please consider joining us next year. TRIENNIAL GATHERING ALL ANEW Registration for the Triennial Gathering is now open. The registration cost is $ until Jan. 6, 2017 and then the registration cost will be $ You can register at The 2017 Triennial Gathering will be held in Minneapolis: Land of the Lutherans, July If you would like more information on the gathering and who you could room with, please contact our local Triennial promoter, Jo Johnson at: jajohnson427@yahoo.com or

2 FALL 2016 SWO NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 VICE PRESIDENT S REPORT This year s CPC Training Event was held at Forks Zion Lutheran Church in Leechburg in August. Many thanks to Patty Newton and the ladies of Forks Zion, Lucille Allen and Nancy Vogel who hosted this event. Their hospitality was greatly appreciated and contributed to a smoothly run session. A total of sixteen women were in attendance. They talked about the purpose of cluster meetings and the nuts and bolts of planning two cluster events each year. They learned about the financial costs who pays for what and the paper work required. We put our heads together, talked about and shared information about program planning, ideas, topics, speakers and activities. We also planned for the CPCs to take a more active part in the nomination of candidates for Secretary, Treasurer, Board Members and Triennial Voting Members to the Churchwide Assembly (every three years).

We need 1 person from Cluster 1 & 6; 2 persons from Cluster 2; 1 person from Cluster 3. Visits This summer the Growth Committee accepted an invitation from the ladies of First English in Zelieonople to talk about forming a congregational unit of the Women of the ELCA. On July 14th we were cordially welcomed to First English Church and, in the manner of Lutherans everywhere, fed a delicious meal. The Committee then presented a short program on the aims, purpose, structure and function of the W/ELCA from the congregational unit to the churchwide organization. Special thanks to the First English ladies for their invitation and hospitality. If you think your congregation would benefit from a Growth Committee visit, please get in touch with one of the Committee members (address & telephone info is printed on the editorial page of this newsletter).
