Our fellowship has been very busy with Bible study, outings, fundraisers, guest speakers and other fun activities. Our guest speakers have brought a range of issues to the forefront including dementia and school chaplaincy. A panel of ladies talked about dealing with the death of a loved one. Our soup and rolls luncheon was a great time of fellowship. Marie Heinrich shared with us the Diary of a Pioneer, which gave us an insight into …
There are seven women in our fellowship, and we meet in Marlen Wittwer’s very comfortable home on the second Thursday of each month. In March 2022, we hosted the Penola World Day of Prayer. Maggie Mott from Naracoorte, originally from England, was our guest speaker. She spoke very passionately about her walk with Christ and his influence in her life as she moved from England to Australia. Twenty-five women attended the day and the offering …
There are still a few of us who remember 50 plus years of guild. We were newly married young women trying to settle into a new life, in a new country area, mostly on farms. Very soon, we found we were “expected” to join the Guild, part of St John’s Lutheran Church, Carlsruhe, near Waterloo and Manoora and surrounded by farmland. In my case, my mother-in-law was thrilled to have another driver in the family, me! Thus, she did not have to ask her husband or sons to drive her to guild as they had in the past!
We have joined up with Brinkworth, Snowtown and Blyth and meet at the Brinkworth Church Hall, on the first Tuesday of each month, ready to have a ball. Those who regularly attend are Coral, Barbara, Rhonda, Joy, Dorothy, Margie, Elva, Joy, Dorathea, and Paster Greg. We get together to find out what’s new. We all enjoy singing and praising the Lord, and “growing” when we are studying his Word. Rhonda Klemm
We are a small fellowship, being fed and led by God’s Word, caring for each other, and doing what we can to help. Our big event last year was a Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser in aid of cancer research, and in honour of one of our members, Joan Habermann. As we have a large hall, being COVID-compliant was very manageable. Our speaker was a local retired doctor, speaking about the latest in cancer research. I …
Each month we gather to meet on the second Wednesday or Friday. All women of the St Paul Community are warmly invited to attend, currently a core group of around 15 attends. We begin each meeting gathering around his Word for inspiration, encouragement, and solace. Last year we were blessed to be led by our newly installed shepherd, Pastor Matt, to guide us through the Bible studies presented in our Lutheran Women magazine. Our program …
Whyalla St James Women’s Fellowship is a very active group of Christian women who enjoy meeting together with Bible studies, fellowship and working hard. We have 14 members with the average attendance being 10. We started 2021 by getting together for Sunday lunch at a local hotel. It was great opportunity to catch up with each other after the challenges of 2020. The year 2021 saw us change our monthly meeting times from evenings to …
In 2021, we held all our monthly meetings with an average attendance of 27 ladies, except in August which was cancelled due to COVID. The Tanunda churches took turns to host meetings, providing a musician and afternoon tea according to COVID restrictions. Pastors Guntars Baikovs, Jim Bryan and the late David Preuss led us in memorable Bible Studies. Birthdays were celebrated with cards and a Bible reading. “Getting To Know You” was aided by everyone …
Although our membership is small, and we do not have a resident pastor, we enjoy meeting regularly. The monthly Devotions and Bible Studies, printed in Lutheran Women are really appreciated, thank you to all who contribute. In March, we took part in the World Day of Prayer, with 2021 focusing on Vanuatu. In 2022, we will be the hosts praying for people in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. In June, we combined with Unley Fellowship …
In 2021, we were blessed to be able to meet for nine out of our 10 meetings, observing social distancing and with the use of masks. The Committee met in January to organise the program for the year. Our fellowship has a membership of 25 with an average attendance of 16. We use the Bible Study from the Lutheran Women magazine. Pastor Andrew Brook has led us but, in October, Sal Huckel personally presented her …
Our 29 happy, caring, and enthusiastic ladies meet on the first Wednesday in the month. We begin with a prayer, followed by the devotion taken from the Lutheran Women magazine. Ruth Eckermann (our president) leads us in our Bible study which is taken from Life Changing Bible Verses Every Women Should Know written by Rebecca Luther. During 2020, we were sad to lose two of our members who have gone to be with our Heavenly Father. …
Pastor Steve Hibbard and 18 ladies attended the Guild Fellowship Afternoon on Wednesday 2 June 2021. The theme for the day was taken from 2 Timothy 1:6, Stir up the gift of God. To keep with the theme, Cathy Hibbard made crosses for a take home gift, using a coffee sachet and a wooden spoon which displayed the Bible text. A $5 coffee voucher to a local coffee shop was the door prize won by …
