Other activities: WELCA members serve funeral
luncheons, prepare food for Lenten Soup Suppers, meet for Bible studies,
donate to Lutheran World Relief, participate in the local World Day of Prayer
Service and contribute a significant amount of fund-raised money to church
improvements.
In the past year, the
group has spent its money on everything from new soup spoons to helping with
the cost of the new LIFT. Upcoming projects include remodeling the men’s
bathroom. We are also working with the property committee and our woodworkers
to build more cabinetry for the upstairs education wing and to install new
carpet and tile in the downstairs Sunday School wing.

circle members is printed each year.
