2008 Convention June 6-7 in East Grand Forks Our 21st Annual Convention of the Northwestern Minnesota Synodical Women’s Organization, June 6 & 7 held at Our Savior Lutheran Church, East Grand Forks, Minnesota.
The theme, “Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly with God” comes from Micah 6:8. The banquet and business session will be Friday evening, June 6. Many think that this is the boring part of our convention but it is also the most important because you elect the women who will serve you for the next two years and approve the budget. Charlene Spillmann, Executive Board Member from Texas will join us for the two days and will bring us greetings from the Executive Board. Our entertainment will be the Trinity Trio from Thief River Falls. The Trinity Trio is a gospel group whose repertoire includes both old-time gospel and traditional music. The group includes a banjo, guitar, bass, viola, mandolin, and tin whistle.
Saturday morning, June 7 will begin with a worship service with Holy Communion lead by Bishop Wohlrabe. Our main speaker for the convention is Patricia Lorenz from Florida and she is well-known for her “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books. She has spoken throughout the United States on many subjects and links them to your spiritual life as well. She will be present Friday as well as Saturday with her books for signing and visiting with all of you that are present at our convention. Also, in closing on Saturday we will present Lena and Igna with their “Luteran Legalities,” the Norwegian version. You won't want to miss anything!
