WELCA
What is WELCA? It is an easy way to say Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The
Women of St. John’s Lutheran Church engage in many ministries such as: monthly meetings, Ladies’ Luncheons, flowers, coffees after Services, WELCA Convention, missions for the community, Thankoffering Service, bereavements, and other called needs. Our WELCA at St. John’s is comprised of four Circles of Women, however any woman of St. John’s is considered a member of WELCA. We would love for any woman of the Church to join one of our Circles.
