The Dorcas Sewing Group is a special circle for women who like to sew in an environment of Christian fellowship. Many members of our circle also actively participate in other UMW circles. Our group makes lap robes and spreads for nursing home residents, homebound individuals, and the UM Children's Home. They make cancer pillows for hospitals, stuffed animals for emergency rooms and clothes for BETA House. They also mend robes and make costumes for church productions.

Miriam Circle

The Miriam Circle is a group of women who strive to remain active both physically and intellectually.

Their yearly projects vary, but lately have centered on helping the House of Hope and the Coalition for the Homeless. Although most of the members are retired, women of all ages are invited to join them and share their close fellowship. The circle meets in members' homes.
Ruth Circle
Contact Carol Holloway (407-647-3383)
Meeting: Second Friday Morning
The Ruth Circle is comprised of women with school age children through grandmothers. They devote themselves to exploring ways they can become more complete Christian women through Bible study, fellowship, community service and world outreach. Members support, encourage and share with each other, learning and growing as they do. Laughter is mandatory, tears infrequent, and the peace of growing in and serving the Lord is a wonderful outcome of each meeting. Mission projects have included the Crisis Nursery, WP Community Center, House of Hope, Coalition for the Homeless, and identified families in local public schools.
