Synodical Women’s Organization (SWO)

What is SWO?

All women of the Florida-Bahamas Synod are encouraged to join us (Florida-Bahamas Synodical Women’s Organization or SWO) in becoming more involved in the fellowship of the Women of the ELCA. We are the coordinating body for synod-wide events and promote communication between churchwide, conferences, and local congregational units.  We sponsor uplifting and renewing FALL GATHERINGS, we come together at conference events especially at SPRING GATHERINGS, and we delight in sharing ministry as well as ourselves. 

Visit the SWO web site for more information.
