Our ladies are an active group. We meet quarterly and conduct a business meeting. We have four circle groups whose main function is Bible Study. We also have four working divisions that serve funerals and other events at church. All men and women of Trinity belong to a division. Our WELCA also organizes and hosts several fund raising events that include: Tour of Tables, Syttende Mai breakfast, salad luncheon, rummage sale, and Cookie Walk. At Christmas time we also sponsor a mitten tree. We collect mittens, caps and scarves for Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots US.

The core of WELCA is the monthly study, based on the Lutheran Women Today magazine course. The study takes place at Circle meetings and provides for more in-depth searching of our faith. Studies follow a theme September-May with a shorter theme for the summer. Check the church calendar for dates and times of circle meetings.
