Women of the ELCA

Join us for our next meetings on Tuesdays, December 3 and January 7 @ 10am

WELCA’s November meeting was held on Election Day ’24. We had 10 members present plus the wonderful addition of (recently turned) 90 year old Betty Schafer, an original Holy Trinity WELCA member. Thank you to Kim Mill for being Betty’s transportation to our meeting.

Prayers were offered for a safe and positive national election as well as for Pastor Kristin’s son, Joseph, who that day was undergoing ACL surgery in Maryland.

Outreach:  Sandwiches were made for the Loudoun homeless shelter and were delivered by Anne Wohlford after the meeting. The members present voted to increase our monthly number of sandwiches made to 24. It was also agreed that at our December 3rd meeting, that each member would bring 1 dozen homemade cookies to share with the men and women at the homeless shelter. We also voted to donate $150 from our treasury to purchase gifts from the Angel Tree. Pat Bailey will purchase these gifts.

Book Study:  Cathy Root and Pat Bailey led the group through Chapters 4 (“Be a ‘Long Haul Hero’”) and Chapter 5 (“Pay the Role”) from our book study (Drew Dyck’s Just Show Up). A lively discussion followed. For December, we will have only chapter 6 to read – “Just Crack Open Your Bible”.

We welcome any women from our Holy Trinity congregation to join us!

Pat Bailey, President
