The December edition of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) Connection highlighting news from our national church body - This month, we learn about the WELS Special Ministries Commission and how it exists to serve those whose needs aren’t fully met in a traditional congregational setting. Just a few examples are: men and women serving in the military, the visually impaired or hard of hearing, people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and those who are in prison. Every community has incarcerated people who could benefit from the services of WELS Special Ministries.
