You are invited! "Hospitality; More Than Warm & Friendly"

We are excited to announce an easier way to make your offerings and support the ministries of WELCA. Click on the GIVE button below to use the new and secure giving site provided by Tithe.ly.

As you fill out the information on the Giving form, you can save it to "remember" you for the next time you use the giving button. Please type the name of your congregation in the memo box to ensure that your church receives credit for your offerings.

Contact the Treasurer, Debra Weinel, if you have any questions or difficulty with the link. Offerings may still be made by mailing checks to the Treasurer, if you prefer.

VOICES FOR JUSTICE was the program for our Spring Gathering. It was a great program and so appropriate for issues facing women today. The program is now divided into 3 sections, each suitable for a Circle meeting or discussion with any group of women that want to learn more about using their voices for justice. All of the materials are available on the Resources page of this website.

The Annual Gathering is June 23-25

at Lenior-Rhyne

It will be wonderful to gather together again!

New NC State-wide Officers and Board members will be elected at the Annual Gathering in June. If you or someone you know might be interested in serving on the Board, please complete the form and send it to the nomination chair. The nomination form is attached
