Women’s Service & Friendship Circle
All are welcome to join this group that works on a variety of projects from quilting and knotting comforters and quilts to stringing bags to be used for MCC kits. We meet on the first Wednesday of every month to work and fellowship together from 9:00 a.m. until we stop for a shared lunch together at noon. Some meals are potluck and others are planned by our hospitality group. A smaller group meets the third Wednesday of each month from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. for just quilting. The church staff provides a special meal in December. We hope you will join us on a Wednesday soon!
We connect here but also to the broader Mennonite Women USA group. Click here for their website.
