Women of the ELCA Annual Thankoffering
Giving thanks. Giving joy. Giving back.
It’s the time of year when we reflect on our blessings. Many Lutheran congregations collect a special Thankoffering to support the work of the Women of the ELCA (WELCA). The Thankoffering tradition honors generations women joyfully joining together in God’s service to other women, giving thanks for what God has given us.
To donate and help sustain the work of WELCA, please give by check or online (designate “WELCA Thankoffering”) by Sunday, Nov. 28.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting the Women of the ELCA!
