WELCA
(A brief background)
Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America is the national women’s organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America; all women of the local congregations are members. There are national and state conventions.

WELCA’s purpose is: as a community of women 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, society and the world.

In the congregation, women gather in circle meetings to carry out this purpose. At Holy Trinity, we have a circle which meets 6 to 8 times a year on the third Wednesday of the month for Bible Study, fellowship and occasionally go out to dinner. The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 16th, 7:30pm, at Marcia Hayes' home (142 Conover Avenue, Nutley). Over the years we have donated and helped with our own church projects, ministries in the community and church wide missions. All women are always invited to come to the circle meetings.
