| Koinonia
Circle
The Koinonia Circle
meets the first Wednesday of the month from 11:30
am to 1:30 pm in the church parlor. It is for
women of all ages to come together to fellowship,
study, and serve. We strive to get better acquainted
with other Christian women and learn from one
another. We study a variety of topics through
video series, motivational speakers, book reviews,
and other programming.
We also have hands-on
demonstrations and hands-on projects that will
promise to spark interest. We collect donations
for the Neighborhood Services Organization as
our mission service project. At each monthly meeting,
we have a lunch theme and everyone brings a dish
to share.
We also discuss
any business, have a program, and just enjoy visiting
with each other.
If you would like
to join this circle or visit us, please contact
Rhonda Burress at 376-1781.
