Women's Circles
Currently Westminster has six circles. The circles will meet monthly beginning in September for Bible study, fellowship and service. Listed below are the circles and the meetings times. The circles may gather in different locations in June, so please check with your chair(s).
All women are invited to participate in a circle beginning in September 2012! The new Bible study will be Dispatches to God's Household: The General Epistles. These letters were written by first century Christians in Asia Minor who worshipped in house churches. The study author, Dr. Benson Nichols, says the central message is that, “through the power of the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, God calls women and men to live as sisters and brothers, serving one another in truthfulness and love as members of God's household.”
