The Presbyterian Women offer four different "circles" (see below

great place for fellowship, Bible study, and missions work.
The newsletter or bulletin have specific information about where and when the
circles meet. At the bottom of this page is a list.
The women have annual gatherings at Christmas and in the Spring.
The women also have two big fund-raisers. A rummage sale in the Spring,
and a bazaar in the fall.
