CELEBRATE PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
JOIN A CIRCLE

Circles are small groups of women who join together for Bible study, fellowship, and fun.  Groups meet at least once a month at church or in members' homes for meetings of approximately 90 minutes or more.  Typical meetings involve study, time for sharing joys and concerns, mission work, refreshments, and fellowship.  But it's what goes on beyond those monthly meetings that makes Circles special - the support, the love, the caring of members for one another - the richness of feeling part of a larger whole of generous and loving women.

There is a Circle for everyone!  Below is a current list of First Pres Circles and a brief description of the "character" of each - but there is room for many more.  Please feel free to contact any of the women listed and visit a Circle.  Or please feel free to start your own.  We will be happy to help in any way.

Please join us and Celebrate!
