The Central/Southern Illinois Synod Women of the ELCA’s Northern Conference will hold its Fall Gathering on September 28 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Peoria from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The theme for the gathering will be, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Worship will be led by Pastor Lisa Dietrich, and Deacon Pat Caley will be the guest speaker.

The cost is $10 per person, paid at the door. The gathering includes breakfast and lunch. Register here. We will also take an in-kind offering of school supplies for Lutheran World Relief student backpacks.
