2021 CONVENTION
The Southeastern Synod Women of the ELCA met on Saturday, September 18 to conduct the business of our organization. The convention program was held at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Atlanta with members of the board . Other churches around the synod served as venues to gather in small groups, while others participated from home through Zoom.
The business session in the morning included the election of board members; the adoption of the 2022-2023 budget; the adoption of the 2022-2023 Love Offering; Reports from Bishop Strickland, the synodical board and convention committees; and the keynote speech from John Moeller of Inspiritus. The afternoon included 2 workshops sessions, Cluster Muster and a Happy Hour.
Shirley Connelly was elected as our president but there were no nominees for treasurer. Karen Andrews' term will end January 31, 2022 so if you are willing to serve as our treasurer from February 1, 2022 until January 31, 2024, please contact Shirley. Sissy Gifford, Barb Miller and Diana Palma were elected to serve 2-year terms as board members. Thank you ladies for your willingness to serve SES WELCA in this capacity.
Thanks to all those that participated in the convention and those that served as voting members. We were truly blessed to have Pastor Karen Boda as our chaplain for the beautiful opening worship service and closing prayers.
We would also like to thank the synodical board and the women of Cluster 3 for their tireless work in planning this hybrid convention. We also thank Bob Boyd and his team of technicians from Redeemer that helped with streaming and recording the convention. We appreciate your patience during the technical difficulties.

We are all looking forward to getting together for our Cluster Meetings in the spring and attending the 2022 convention at the Hilton Atlanta Marietta Hotel and Conference Center. God is good! All the Time!
