St. John's Lutheran Women
The women are on break for the summer.
They will start back in September both in person and via Zoom.
Purpose Statement
As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit,
We commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action,
and promote healing and wholeness in the church, society, and the world.
All the women of St. John's Lutheran Church are already members of St. John's Lutheran Women, even if you are not an active member of a circle. Please join us for food for thought and food for the soul.
We have one monthly Bible study group. The circle meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month for Bible study and fellowship, except during the summer months of June, July and August.
The Lydia Circle meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm via Zoom.

St. John's Lutheran Women also has three sewing ministries:
Monthly, Martha’s animals makes 40 stuffed animals for young patients in Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room, along with 10 stuffed animals given to two ambulance drivers for use as needed for young ambulance patients.
The sewing circle meets every Monday to make quilts, pillows, walker pockets and bibs for nursing homes in Beaufort; for the Victory House in Walterboro, SC; for the Arkansas Children's Hospital, as well as quilts for new born babies in our congregation.
The LWR quilt group meets to make quilts for Lutheran World Relief to send to disaster sites around the world. In 2017, they made 90 quilts.
Our Loving Care Ministry provides a box full of items that may be needed in times of unexpected life events in both our congregation and community.Through our Bereavement Ministry, we prepare and serve a meal to our bereaved members. The Casserole ministry brings food to families with loved ones in the hospital or at other times of need.
We also made it a goal to renew awareness of what the church collects for various community organizations. Each month we saw an increase in the number of items brought in to bless others in the community.
We extend a warm welcome to every one of you who have not yet experienced the joy of participating in the program, to find your niche and become part of some piece of St. John's Lutheran Women. Perhaps you might even have an idea to add another piece to this program. Just talk to us and let's see what we can do and how we can grow.
