Join Us at Our "Welcome Back" Convention!

Dear Sisters-in-Christ,

The Metro DC Synodical Women's Organization (SWO) invites all the women of our synod to our “Welcome Back” mini-convention on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Springfield, Virginia. This is our first in-person gathering since 2019 and it promises to be a valuable experience for worship, service, and fellowship.

Please help us get the word out about the gathering by sharing the informational flyer (LOTS of information here!) and registration forms (linked to on our HOME page) with the women in your congregation. This same information has also been sent to your church's email address and in hard copies to your church office.

The agenda is given below—we're looking forward to seeing you there!
