St Petri Women’s Fellowship

Our fellowship has been very busy with Bible study, outings, fundraisers, guest speakers and other fun activities.

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 …

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 …

Carlsruhe Ladies Guild 120th Anniversary

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!

Brinkworth Women’s Guild 2022

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

Zion Women’s Fellowship, Angaston

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 …

We have 14 members with the average attendance being 10. We started 2021 by getting together for Sunday lunch at a local hotel.

Birthdays were celebrated with cards and a Bible reading. “Getting To Know You” was aided by everyone …

Underdale Women’s Fellowship 2021

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 June, we combined with Unley Fellowship …
