Circle Meetings
"Circles" are sub-groups of the total membership. They meet once a month in addition to the General Meetings. Most Circles meet in members' homes to share refreshments, fellowship, business and study. There are both day and night Circle meetings. The following is a short description of each Circle. To attend, call the hostess for directions and to confirm the time and place.

preschool and elementary school children. They support many service projects and are a group of very active young church women.
