Mission Growth
Bible Study Circles:
There are three Bible Study “Circles” that meet once per month for study and mutual fellowship and support. Anyone is welcome to attend! The studies are based on materials in the magazine of the Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Lutheran Woman Today.
In addition to the Bible studies, Lutheran Woman Today offers an exciting mix of faith-in-life articles, theological reflections, devotions, and stories of comfort and challenge. The magazine lifts up the mission of Women of The ELCA: “to mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.” Click on the link below for more information about subscribing to Lutheran Woman Today. A few copies are available in the church library for anyone’s use.
The circle names and meeting times are as follows:
Peace Circle meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9:30am
Chair: LeAnn VanMeveren
Faith Circle meets on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of the month at 1:30pm
Chair: Ruthie Nelson
Love Circle meets on the 2nd Monday evening of the month at 7:30pm
Chair: Irene Moline
Assistant Chair: Karen Torbert
Mission Community: Judy Lange
All circles meet in the Chapel Lounge.
Thank Offering – November 13, 2011
Members are encouraged to regularly set aside financial donations as a “Thank Offering,” recognizing God’s blessings to us. This money will be gathered at worship on November 13th. Thank offering dollars are used to support the ministry of the national Women of the ELCA – to equip women, support them in their callings, and to be a witness to the church, the society, and the world.
