All of the women of 1st Lutheran Church belong
to the WELCA organization—the Women of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Each is
invited and encouraged to be an active member.
There are currently 5 circles within our church.
Each circle has a meeting each month which includes
a Bible Study. The circles are responsible
for serving funerals, Sunday morning coffee,
quilting, upkeep in the kitchen and making sure
supplies are on hand as needed. Anyone interested
in joining a circle can contact the church office @ 653-1333

Prayer Shawl

Anyone is who interested in knitting
or crocheting prayer shawls is invited

“Give and it will be given to you,
For the measure you give will be the
measure you give back.”
Luke 6:38

and wholeness in the church, the
society, and the world.
