You may not be alone in asking, “What is WELCA
and why should I get involved?” Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America is a women's group that is much more than the ladies staked out in
the kitchen or the organizers of annual church quilt drives or a monthly
coffee clutch.
Here in the Florida-Bahamas Synod we can be proud that our
Women of the ELCA members are involved at unprecedented levels beyond what their
foremothers envisioned before them. We are a diverse group of mothers,
grandmothers, sisters and daughters that have found a common purpose in serving
within and beyond our church walls.
All women of the Florida-Bahamas Synod are encouraged to join
us in becoming more involved in the fellowship of the Women of the ELCA. We
sponsor uplifting and renewing retreats, we gather together at conference
events, and we delight in sharing ministry as well as ourselves. If you are
wondering where to begin, please contact us for more information.
