Our Savior’s Women’s Circles
The three women’s circles (Esther Circle, Grace Circle, and Ruth Circle) all follow the format set forth in Lutheran Woman, a magazine and study guide published by the ELCA. The groups meet monthly for Bible study, service, fellowship and food. They differ in the dates and times that they meet, and somewhat in their service projects. Each of the groups is open to, and welcomes, new members. For information on how to participate, please call the church office at: 503.635.4563
