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 action, and
promote healing and wholeness in the church,
the society, and the world. |

Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do
your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead
me on a level path. |

 The
symbol -- with the cross, water and a white lily -- identifies the
women of the 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 the growth, beauty,
and vitality that rises out of that life-giving baptismal water.
It is also a reminder of the mission of the church to "Go,
therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew
28:19). |
