NE MN Synod Women’s Organization (WELCA)
Welcome to the Northeastern Minnesota Synod Women of the ELCA website.
We are an active group of women from 130 congregations. Each of our five conferences hosts a Fall and Spring Gathering, and we host a Synod-wide Convention/Gathering in June of each year.
