“I can do all things by Christ who strengthens me.”
You are invited to the Northern Conference Summer Gathering at First English Lutheran Church, Peoria, on Saturday, August 23, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The theme for the gathering is “Strength for the Journey,” based on Philippians 4:13.
Our guest speaker is Patricia Schmidgall, author from Pekin and mobile crisis clinician responding to situations in the community, hospitals, and jails. Her book “Face the Phase” uses the Philippians verse to help women gracefully face each phase of life as God is not surprised by any situation that arises.
The day’s program includes:
Light breakfast and lunch
Worship led by the Rev. Mary Beenken (Grace and Peace, Peoria)
Update from our president, Deacon Pat Caley
Fair Trade market
In-kind offering for The Center for Prevention of Abuse, Peoria
The cost is $10 per person, payable in advance or at the door. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. Register online, in-person at the door, or contact Bev Gross (309-256-6650, b.gross2649@icloud.com). Download and share the flyer.
