WELCA stands for Women of The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. If you are a woman and part of the church then you are part of WELCA. Our mission is to mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ. This organization functions in local, synod, and churchwide settings. Here at First Lutheran we have an active group of women who support each other and the church in doing God's work. We actively raise monies that go back into our community to help others. All women are welcome. To find out more, ask in the church office for the number for the president.

WELCA Updates
· WELCA donated $300 to the Ukrainian Crisis. At that time all donations up to $50,000 were doubled, so ours became $600!
· To donate to the Ukrainian Crisis, go to ELCA.org/disaster. Your gifts designated for “Eastern Europe Crisis Response” will be used entirely (100%) to provide support for people impacted by conflict in the region. There are forms in the Narthex at the church if you would prefer to mail a check.
· We are currently taking donations for the spring garage sale. As of now, we are still in need of “stuff” in order to hold the sale. If you are doing some “spring cleaning” in your home and are looking to get rid of items in your house, please consider donating them to the church for our sale. You can also request a tax donation form. If you need help getting it to the church, call the office and Rian will connect you to someone who can help.
· This year we will not have an “All Daughter’s Banquet”. Instead, we would like to have a girl’s night out at a restaurant. We are planning this for mid-May, during the week, in the evening. We hope to have a good turn-out. We are looking to have a good time with our ladies of the church, where no one has to clean the kitchen! Keep a look-out for more news in the bulletin and next newsletter.
