There is lots of "class participation" in a small, informal group setting. All UMW programs and fundraisers are supported. Any woman church member (and this includes circle members) is welcomed to visit and/or join the group.
The purpose of this Study Group is to give women a time to slow down and to focus on their spiritual growth in a quiet setting (no one has to serve refreshments or clean their house.) We meet at the church on the third Tuesday at 7 PM, for about one hour. In December we meet at a member’s home to visit and read the Christmas story together.
