Women of the ELCA

MISSION: Women of the ELCA shall commit themselves to grow in faith, affirm their gifts, support one another in their callings, engage in ministry and action and promote healing and wholeness in the church, in society and in the world.

HOW IS THIS DONE?
 WELCA is the women’s organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Together, this network of nearly 500,000 women makes a difference in the world because God has made a difference in their lives.
 ELCA Mission: To mobilize women to act boldly in their faith in Jesus Christ.
 ELCA 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, the society, and the world.
 Our members serve the community and support each other through various activities: devotional time and bible study, presentations of topics of interest to women, food pantry collections. We also collect offerings at our meetings. These offerings support our national group as well as supporting our year of women’s health, helping us purchase items for health kits that will be distributed locally.

MEETINGS: WELCA meets the 2nd Tuesday at 7pm, the months of September, October, November, February, March, April, May and June.
