Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (WELCA)        

Each year WELCA selects a project in which to participate. This year we have chosen to collect shelf stable foods for {GAAP} God’s Abundance for ALL People, an ecumenical food bank serving a wide area in and around Newberry. The GAAP is supported by churches including The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Newberry. 

The mission is to provide supplemental groceries to families in need by allowing them to shop freely and with dignity for groceries. We are asking for donations of shelf stable foods such as: shelf stable meat in pop top cans or in pouches such as beanie weenies for the homeless, meal in a can like

Spaghetti – Os.  

cereal, grits,

oatmeal. granola bars, etc.                                                 

packs of Crackers/snacks and Rice or instant potatoes.

Collection boxes will be placed outside the WELCA room and in the Narthex for your donations. Donations will be received through June14. Thank you for your support!

Adult Christian Education for the Summer will be a book study on

Max Lucado's In the Grip of Grace.

If you would like the church to order you a copy, please email or call 

Dr. Will by June 4. We will begin the study on June 14.

If you would like a BACK THE BLUE sign, please let the church office know and we will be sure to secure you a sign.
