EXPLANATION OF THE WELCA LOGO

 

The symbol – with 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 baptism water.  It is also a reminder of the mission of the church to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”  (Matthew 28:19 NRSV)

PLEDGE TO THE CHRISTIAN FLAG

 

            I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag, and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands, one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and love.

 

PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF

THE WOMEN OF THE ELCA

 

            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.

 

THE AMERICAN’S CREED

            I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes, I therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to live it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies
