SYNODICAL CONVENTION

Picture
The Thirty-fourth Annual Convention of the Southeastern Synod Women of the ELCA will be held September 16-18, 2022 at the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel and Conference Center in Marietta, Georgia. It will include two worship services, workshops, Cluster Muster, and business sessions which will include the election of a vice president, secretary and three board members.

Our theme is Together at the Table - Tasting Grace.  Our Bible verse is 1 Peter 5:10 - And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore,       support, strengthen, and establish you.

 
So mark your calendars for September  16-18, 2022 and watch for more details on the website as they become available and the next issue of the Weaver. 

The Call to Convention Letter, Convention Poster, Registration Form, Voting Member Responsibilities and Nomination Form are attached below.


Pictures from previous conventions can be found on the Photos page under News & Events above.

Purpose of the Convention

The purpose of the annual convention of the Southeastern Synod Women of the ELCA is to conduct the business of the organization, elect officers and board members (and four triennial voting members each triennium), and approve the budget and Love Offering for the coming year.  It is the highest legislative authority of the synodical organization. 

Each congregational unit is encouraged to elect a voting member (and an alternate) to represent their unit at the convention.  Voting members of the convention are the elected officers and board of the synodical organization and the voting members from each unit.  A majority of the voting members that are registered at the convention will constitute a quorum. 

The convention  also provides our women an opportunity for fellowship and fun as well as spiritual growth through Bible Study, workshops, and worship services. Special guests include the bishop of the Southeastern Synod, churchwide representative,
chaplain, music director, keynote speaker, workshop leaders, and others.
