CIRCLES
Circles are small special fellowship groups within the larger umbrella of United Methodist Women. Women can choose to be involved in one circle or in more than one. At Anchor Park, the Forget-me-not Circle meets on a Wednesday at noon for a short program or project. Participants are invited to bring a brown bag lunch to eat while they participate. The Potlatch Circle meets on a Sunday directly after worship service for a delicious meal and a program or project. All women, whether Anchor Park members or not, are invited to UMW activities. Potlatch Potlatch Circle will start off the year with a scrumptious lunch immediately after worship on Sunday, Sept. 17th in Wesley Hall. A donation is requested to cover the cost of food and childcare. Forget-Me-Not will meet on Wednesday, Sept. 13th in the Lawhorn Room at noon. Bring a sack lunch and join us. **Some month's dates may change so please check the calendar on the website or call the church office to verify that month's meeting dates and times.** |
