CIRCLE MEETINGS

 

Circle meetings serve to help members to achieve a more intimate fellowship and a more comfortable study group, you may also attend a Circle meeting each month. Ideally, each woman should attend the monthly general meeting as well as her Circle or interest group.

​

We have three Circles at Emmanuel. Traditionally, they are named after missionaries in the field since one of the United Methodist Women’s aims is strengthening the missionary work of the church.
