Women’s Circles

The four circles support our church’s mission and programs. The circles of our congregation exist to build community, affirm women’s calls to leadership, raise concerns, and channel information to and from other Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery.

Each circle is a small group of women who gather to nurture their faith and growth in our Lord, to challenge one another to stretch beyond their limits, and to move beyond the safe places of life by reaching out to others.

Some fundraisers include pasty sales, a flea market, and a craft & food sale. Profits are used to support several special mission causes, such as the Bethany Crisis Nursery, CHUM, Duluth Jail Chaplaincy, Union Gospel Mission, Women’s Transitional Housing, and the Damiano Center.

Circles meet once each month. See the Calendar page for meeting times.

Stitch and Cackle

This fun group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 1:00 pm in the church lounge. Bring your knitting, sewing, or needlework of any type and join us for stitching, with a lot of conversation too!

Contemporary Studies

The Contemporary Studies group extends a very warm welcome to women of all ages and faiths. We meet weekly on Thursday mornings from 9:30-11:30 A.M. in the church lounge. We follow the public school calendar, which includes snow days and vacations.

As a study group, we read, discuss, explore, and share. We also enjoy the social aspects of community.

             “Night” by Elie Wiesel
