North Carolina Women of the ELCA
Dear Sisters in Christ,
Our theme this year has been -
That theme
brings with it an even more power-
ful meaning as we enter the season
of Thanksgiving. May we be re-
newed, reenergized and recommit-
ted to our mission and ministry.
May we truly understand how
much this generous God has given
us and respond in our abundance.
And, may we rejoice in the Lord
always. Plan a Thankoffering Service, a Thanksgiv-
ing celebration, or a special commemoration of the
25th anniversary year of the Women of the ELCA.
Take the opportunity to celebrate.
As you plan the programs and service projects for the
month and the year ahead, use the resources made
available to you each month in the Bulletin.
Pray with your sisters around the synod each Mon-
day at noon. Just stop for a few minutes to pray for
all of the many projects in which we are all involved
and remember those who might need special prayer
on that particular Monday or throughout that week. If
you wish to receive our list of individuals wanting
prayer, let me know by sending me your email ad-
dress.
Grace and peace,
Sharon Johnson NC Women of the ELCA President

ented women you know with just the right

The Gathering Planning Committee
is pleased to announce that Inez
Torres Davis will be our keynote speaker for the SWO
Gathering June 2013. Inez is the Director of Justice
for the Women of the ELCA and co-Chair of the Jus-
tice for Women Working Group of the National Coun-
cil of Churches of Christ, USA.
In addition to these responsibilities, she also coordi-
nates the Women of the ELCA grants program which
makes annual grants to groups and agencies that pro-
vide support and services to women and children. She
develops programs, events and conversations related
to racism, cross-cultural understanding, commercial
sexual exploitation and the care of creation. As you can
imagine, Inez Torres Davis has much to share with the
NC Women of the ELCA.
Our chaplain for the SWO Gathering will be Pastor
Laura Wind from the Lutheran Church of the Epiphany
in Winston-Salem. Pastor Wind is an associate Pastor
with Epiphany and a campus Pastor at Wake Forest
University.

Rock Conference Center, the site of the retreat, at 1:00

Oh, the Places We Can Go! (With apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Scouts. Sunday School. Book clubs. Congregations.
Council. Sport teams. Choir. Habitat projects.
Women of the ELCA. Congregational Units. Circles.
All of these have one thing in common: the need for
leadership. King Solomon tells us in Proverbs 1:5 to
group or organization, we owe it to those we lead, and
ourselves, to be open to learning and guidance in our
roles of leadership.
Even the suggestion of change can be cause for anxiety
or frustration. Stepping outside our comfort zones can
be frightening. Asking for assistance can be intimidat-
ing. As leaders, though, we need to be familiar with
the most current and effective practices, procedures,
and processes to better ensure the best outcomes for
those looking to us for direction.
Having the latest information creates the best opportu-
nity to grow a successful, productive unit, in our case,
to move forward strengthens the challenges that are
presented in the congregation, synod, and churchwide.
In the beginning of the twelfth book of Daniel, we are
reminded that strong leaders will help bring others to
shine like the brightness of heaven. Accepting roles of
leadership brings responsibilities, yes; but consider the
opportunities that await you and those you lead!
To paraphrase the title of a popular Dr. Seuss book,
Patti P. Lovell, Leadership Chair
Mission Action ZOOM - The Mission Action Committee has busily
begun to carry out its goals for the coming year. It is
hoped that every conference will get to view the zoom
bags put together by the committee members at Com-
mittee Day I. Carrying a ZOOM (Ziploc Outreach
Opportunity Ministry) Bag allows us to respond to the
needs of hunger and to minister to those in need. We
our Savior. Learn more about this opportunity and
bring it to your church family.
Project ideas - Mission Action also hopes to highlight
and share outreach programs and resources so that we
King of Cary has shared their idea of Knit Wits, Knit-
ting Witnesses, as a group of their women that out-
reach to hospitals, shelters, and Project Linus with a
variety of homemade crafts. Please contact Mission
Action members with your success stories of commu-
nity service beyond the church walls.
LWR Fall Collections - Our thanks go to Rachel
Price who has once again organized our LWR pickups.
As you are collecting materials and putting together
your kits remember that money for shipping is also
needed. One group received assistance with this from
their youth, who held a special fundraiser for shipping
money. This is a great way to work across the church
community in support of LWR.
Carbon Footprint - We are also asking that you be
mindful of your carbon footprint as our world strug-
gles with climate shifts, floods, and droughts. Many
opportunities exist to live more in alignment with the
Page 4 North Carolina Women of the ELCA
ing in our communities and watch for an on-going
awareness session at our Annual Gathering in June
that will bring ideas and opportunities for Earth
friendly Action.
World Hunger - Please check ideas concerning
world hunger on the Bread for the World link on our
website and remember that Bold Women Respond to
the needs of the world.
NEW RESOURCE:
What is a thoughtful prayer life? Martin Luther
few things to say about a thoughtful prayer life.
Prayer is a very personal experience, and a heart-
felt discussion can generate new insights or stir
powerful memories for those participating in this
study. After discussing prayer through the lens
ter a peaceful way to digest these readings. There
will be a time for participants to make prayer
beads. Make time and space for what matters.
This is the most recent resource of study that was pro-
duced by the Women of the ELCA. There are many
resources available at their website that can be
downloaded for use by the women in your congrega-
tional unit for individual and group study. Please
make them available to your group. This is another
way that our offerings are being used.

Parents Arise! One of the goals of the Mission:
Community Committee is to,
Day and Parents Arise as vehicles
to address exploitation and human
What is Parents Arise?
This is how Al Erickson, Director of Parents Arise
describes the movement:
Parents Arise is a Christian movement that addresses
the dangers and jeopardy our kids face as they de-
velop into adulthood. It recognizes the concern many
able people will be attacked by clever and treacherous
schemers who care only about making money or hav-
ing power. It values parents, grandparents and men-
tors and the callings they have from God to help se-
cure young people.
Al is an ELCA pastor. He is the former director of
Adults Saving Kids. His own daughter was spiritually
harmed and physically exploited in a very sophisti-
cated scam.
Much more information on Parents Arise, along with
concrete steps to help address the dangers of exploita-
tion and human trafficking will be included in the next
tion will be in future issues.

PRAYER
Dear Woman of God, Be still for a while and
praise God for His favor, His grace, and His awe-
someness. God is able to do the impossible and is
always near. He loves us unconditionally. To-
one voice in this next hour. Share this with every
prayer when you receive it.
Dear God, this is my friend whom I love and this
is my prayer for her. Help her live her life to the
fullest. Please promote her and cause her to excel
above her expectations. Help her to shine in the
darkest places where it is impossible to love. Pro-
tect her at all times, lift her up when she needs
You the most, and let her know when she walks
with You, she will always be safe. Amen

URGENT! NEW & IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE LWR FALL COLLECTION! To: All Lutheran Congregations of NC From: Rachel Price, NC Women of the ELCA Mission: Action Committee and
NC Synod Lutheran World Relief Coordinator Re: Parish Projects/ Drop-off Information Date: September 2, 2012 This is another year of transition for LWR. Please remember that beginning this year, only the NEW kits will be accepted. I hope your congregation is continuing its efforts in these LWR Year Round Projects. In 2011, 1116 cases were collected for LWR. One and one/half trailer loads were delivered to LWR in New Windsor. The weight was approximately 21,752 pounds. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. For information on the new kits, look at the LWR Quilt & Kit Ministry Guide-2012-2013. PLEASE pay close attention to the info for assembling and packing items (page 1). You can call 1-800-LWR-LWR2 for extra (free) copies of the 2012-13 guide. Please keep these brochures as they probably will be used for several more years. You can also get the same info at the website lwr.org and click on “Get Involved”. Follow packing directions — Remember that the new kits have new names. The new kit names are “Personal Care Kits”, “Baby Care Kits”, and “Fabric Kits”. The only kit that has the same name is the School Kit. The quilts are now “Mission Quilts”. No more than 40 pounds to a carton Only one kind of item to a carton No plastic or paper bags!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAPE CASES AND WEIGH THEM! Label with contents, your church information and address to: LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF, 601 MAIN ST., NEW WINDSOR, MD 21776 Remember: IT IS THE RESPONSBILITY OF THE NC WOMEN OF THE ELCA to pay for these shipments! Last year's cost was almost $3,000.00. The charges vary due to distance, but more importantly, the weight. We invite congregations, groups, and individuals to make monetary contributions to this very worthwhile cause. You can make your check payable to: NC WOMEN of the ELCA. And mark it for LWR pickups. Send your check to the NC Women's treasurer. She is Terri Brown, 1112 Cruse Rd., Salisbury, NC 28146. DO NOT put the check in the cartons or take it to the drop-off sites. Eight congregations across the synod have volunteered to serve as the drop-off sites for our quilts and kits. It would be very difficult to find a drop-off site for every conference and poor stewardship of our money as it would be very expensive. If the drop-off site listed for your conference is not convenient for your church, you may take your items to another drop-off site. It does not matter which drop-off site you use, as all items are consolidated in Hickory and send as one shipment from the NC Synod. The churches at the drop-off sites may contact you if your donations are not packed according to LWR specifications! The dates are (Mon.- Fri.) Nov 5-9, (Mon-Fri.) Nov 12-16. NO DELIVERIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AT ASHEVILLE OR HICKORY SITES ON NOVEMBER 6TH (SEE DETAILS BELOW). These two drop-off sites have elections on Nov 6 We gratefully appreciate these churches agreeing to be drop-off sites for the 2012 LWR Projects.
