Lena church to hold
mother-daughter banquet
LENA - St. John's Lutheran Church is holding a Mother-Daughter-Sister-Friend Banquet at 10 a.m. April 14 at the church, 625 Country Lane Drive. This year's event will be more inclusive by encouraging attendance by a sister or a close friend or other family members such as grandmothers, aunts or nieces.
The keynote speaker will be Stephanie Loether, who will address the theme "Woman of God," inspired by the book of Proverbs, "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
Loether has spoken at a variety of women's conferences and retreats, is active in the Kettlebrook Church ministries and led their Mothers of Preschoolers ministry for six years. She has served missions abroad in Hungary, Chad, Rwanda, Kosovo and Montenegro and has spoken at Sunday gatherings and marriage seminars. She is the mother of five children: three of her own, one adopted from the Congo and one foster child. She is also a cancer survivor.
The banquet will include brunch prepared and served by the Board of Evangelism and friends. Special gifts will be shared with those who attend to help us remember this special event.
Call the church office at 815-369-4035 by April 10 to register for the banquet.
