It is an acronym for Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Every woman attending church is automatically a member of this Women's Group.
WELCA Meetings
Meetings are held in the church fellowship hall on the 4th Wednesday of the month with fellowship starting at 3:30 pm. Check the monthly calendar for Special events!
WELCA Circles
In an effort to be more effective Christians, the women work in "Circles." Each circle has a special focus. Each woman volunteers to help in the Circle(s) that makes the best use of the talents God gave her. Circles meet monthly or quarterly, as needed.

Children's Home Circle
Charleston Cottage Circle
Coffee Circle
