St. Peter's Luthern Church Loganville WI

ABOUT US

What is WELCA? It's an easy way to say Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Our organization includes Lutheran women who gather in more than 6,000 locations in the U.S and the Caribbean for service, study, advocacy, fellowship and more! WELCA embraces ministries that support our mission of mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. We have a place for you in Women of the ELCA at St. Peter's Loganville, WI.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.

OUR PURPOSE

“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.”

What Does Our Logo Mean

Our logo—with the cross, water and a white lily—identifies women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as children of God; baptized, forgiven, adopted into God’s family, full of grace and hope in eternal life. It is a reminder of the growth, beauty, and vitality that rises out of that life-giving baptismal water. It is also a reminder of the mission of the church to “Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

WELCA News

Quilting will take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays beginning at 9 AM. Thread needed for sewing kits! The fabric is cut and on the back tables; pick up a piece and buy a spool of thread to match it (250-300 yard spool). Two pieces of fabric and two spools of thread are in each kit. Return them to the brown totes.
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not"
