Lutheran Men in Mission & Men’s Breakfast
The men of the Shared Lutheran Ministry meet jointly on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at Riverside Café in La Grange. The meeting time is 7:00 AM. You are invited to join them for a time of fellowship, gathering and a wonderful meal. Men in Mission is open to all denominational backgrounds and are currently going through an ecumenical examination of Romans at this time. When the Men in Mission are not enjoying each other’s camaraderie and engaging in Bible study at the table, they are out looking for service projects at the churches as well as around the community.

Contact Phil Oestreich (philoestex@gmail.com, 979-966-9474) for more information.

DINNER CHURCH
The Shared Lutheran Ministry churches are offering a unique worship experience. "Dinner Church" is modeled after the early church concept that Christians met for a meal and to celebrate Holy Communion. This service includes dinner and communion, singing, a message and an offering that doesn't have to be money! Join us every first Sunday at 5:30 pm at St. John in Rutersville. If you want a different worship experience or if you miss your worship on Sunday morning, you are welcome here!!

Women of the ELCA
SLM has two WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) groups that meet regularly. The ladies of WELCA meet monthly for Bible study, fellowship and ministry meeting. Each group has outreach projects which include projects such as making quilts for Lutheran World Relief, food drives for the local AMEN Food Pantry and many more.

<< Rutersville quilters donate Hospice Quilts.
