| Mary Circle: (Bible Studies) |
| Mary violated custom by sitting at the feet of Jesus and learned
rather than retreating to the kitchen. Jesus supported her action,
saying she had “chosen the better part.” What better way
to dig deep into the Word than to join together in systematic Bible
Studies. This small group meets each week on Wednesday evenings from
6:15 to 7:30 in classroom B. Each study runs about six to ten weeks. |
| |
| Martha Circle: (Cooking/Baking/Fund Raising) |
| Martha was a close friend and follower of Jesus. Martha represents
the traditional woman satisfied with her role in society. She saw her
place as being in the kitchen. Hard working and always busy with her
hands. This group is involved in preparing funeral family dinners,
organizing and planning church fellowship dinners, bake sales, showers,
making Christmas and Easter candy, fund raisers, etc. Meeting times
and place will be announced in newsletter. |
| |
| Esther Circle: (Quarterly
Women’s Committee) |
| When we first meet Esther she is selected as one of the empire’s
beauties, to be considered by the king as a possible queen. Esther
was chosen as Queen and because of her faithfulness, courage, wisdom
and patience she was known to be placed there “for such a time
as this” to save her people. This small group will consist of
several committees that will be responsible for planning, organizing,
and implementing our quarterly women’s fellowship meetings from
start to finish. Meeting times will be announced. |
| |
| Ruth Circle: (Scrapbooking) |
| Ruth the Moabitess, influenced by her mother-in-law Naomi, married
an Israelite and their son became the grandfather of David, in the
line of Christ. Even though she is remembered for many wonderful acts
of obedience and relationships, what could be greater than her contribution
to the lineage of Christ. What better way to preserve our own lineage
than through the artful craft of scrapbooking. This small group meets
one Friday night of the month from 6:30 to midnight in the fellowship
hall. |
| |
| Lydia Circle: (Sewing/Quilting/Crafts) |
| Lydia was a well-to-do businesswoman in Philippi who became Paul’s
first convert in Europe. She was known as a “seller of purple
cloth”. Lydia invited the apostles to use her house as base to
evangelize the city. This group gets together and enjoys a great time
of fellowship while making quilts, knitting, crocheting, sewing costumes,
making table skirts, making crafts etc. Watch the newsletter for meeting
times. |
| |
| Hannah Circle: (Young Mothers/Mother’s
Day Out) |
| Hannah prayed desperately for a son, whom she promised to dedicate
to the Lord. God answered her prayer, Hannah gave birth to Samuel.
She kept her promise to God and took her child to Eli to be used by
God. This small group will offer sessions on parenting helps, infant
CPR, new tips for new mothers, spa day and dinner out for mother’s
along with many more activities for mother’s day out. All mothers
of young children are encouraged and welcomed. Meetings will be announced. |
| |
| Lois Circle: (Grandmother’s
Fellowship/Nursery) |
| Lois, the grandmother of Timothy, who with his mother Eunice, brought
Timothy up to trust God. She has rightly been honored along with her
daughter Eunice as a model mentor for rearing children. Lois and Eunice
had a genuine faith, and they passed it on to young Timothy. This small
group consists of volunteers that rock babies in the nursery during
S.S. and Wednesday Evening. They serve in the nursery once every 2-3
months. |
| |
| Deborah Circle: (Ministry to our military) |
| Deborah was the first woman judge of Israel. This title was given
to individuals who served as political, military and spiritual leaders
in Israel. It is clear from biblical text that Deborah’s leadership
was accepted by the people of her time and that her many gifts won
her a position generally reserved for men. This small group will be
keeping in touch with our military with birthday cards, Christmas boxes,
phone cards, etc. Also, outreach to family of military with cards and
calls. Meetings will be announced. |
| |
| Dorcas Circle: (Outreach to the needy and widows) |
| Dorcas won the affection of the Christian community in Joppa by her
concern for widows and other needy people. Her death, around AD 40,
led to such an outpouring of grief that the apostle Peter prayed and
she returned to life. Some view Dorcas as the prototype first-century
deaconess. This small group does outreach to widows and shut-ins. Food
Pantry for the needy is a big part of this Circle, along with Thanksgiving
basket and Christmas basket distribution. Meetings will be announced. |
| |
| Coming Soon.... Elizabeth Circle: (Mentoring) |
| Mary, young and inexperienced needed someone to go to for counsel,
so she ran to Elizabeth. This Circle of women, who display wisdom and
Godly behavior will meet monthly to mentor the younger women. These
women will offer Godly counsel and draw from their experience as mothers
and wives. Meeting times will be announced. |
