SYNODICAL RESOURCES

A PLACE FOR YOU

Have you ever wondered how you can become more involved in the wonderful organization we call the Southeastern Synod Women of the ELCA?

“A Place for You” will show you how the churchwide and synodical organizations work, as well as the clusters and congregational units within our synod. You will also discover your spiritual gifts and how you can use them as a woman of the ELCA.

This program can be used at cluster or congregational meetings, or as a half-day seminar. Please contact Louise Iconis at 404-769-8253 or louise@iconis.com to schedule an event in your area.
