The UMW Circles will re-start their monthly meetings in September. Lydia on Monday the 20th at 7pm at the home of Gayle Anderson with leader, Ann Wood. Anna Circle on Tuesday the 21st at 9:30 a.m. in the Friendship Room with Phyllis Ensinger, hostess and Ada Marcum, leader.
We now have 77 members, 18 in Anna, 22 in Lydia Circles, 13 Honorary and 24 Associate members. The Associate group incorporates the desires of those women who want to be a part of UMW but don’t have time or preference to be in a structured monthly meeting. We invite you to join us in one of these groups of the church.
Kim Welch is trying to get a 3rd Circle formed. This will be a group of young women who don’t want a structured format. They will have the basic supportive fellowship, and the beliefs in mission through participation in the other two circle units. If you have an interest in this, talk with Kim or Gayle Anderson.
There will be a UMW Executive meeting on Monday, September 13th at 6:30p.m. in the Friendship Room.
