Circles are small divisions of our local UMW, some larger than others. Membership is open to all women. Each circle has representation on the Executive Board. Within circle meetings, we have devotions, a business meeting, program, and often sometimes refreshments. Each circle is unique. Individual circles decide the programs used. We are circles of friends who play together, pray together, care about each other, and serve Christ together.
Circle groups are listed below. Meetings are held monthly one each month. Note the variety -- a variety of times, days, meeting places and programs. Be our guest at the circle of your choice.
