Our group of women meets for the months of September through June at 7:30 pm, typically on the third Wednesday of each month (see Calendar) or the St. Paul’s Women’s Group Bulletin Board in the church.
The national organization of the Women of the ELCA is organized around three mission areas: Community/Growth and Action
- Community – To enable each woman to value herself and others as created in God’s image and redeemed through Christ; and to build up and celebrate relationships which are global, diverse and interdependent.
- Growth – To provide a variety of learning experiences, which strengthen each woman as a whole person, develop her potential and equip her for ministry.
- Action – To enable women to articulate and act upon their faith as disciples of Christ in all areas of life.
