Purpose Statement |
|
"As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship
in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, We commit ourselves to
grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage
in ministry and actions, and promote healing and wholeness in the church,
the society, and the world." Logo Explanation
The symbol - with the cross, water and a white lily - identifies the
Women of Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as children of God,
baptized, forgiven, adopted into God's family, full of grace and hope in
eternal life. It is a reminder of growth, beauty, and vitality that rises
out of that life-giving baptism water. It is also a reminder of the mission
of the church to "Go Therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptized
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 28:19, The New
Jerusalem Bible |
