Upcoming Events

Our Circles

Elizabeth Circle

(Homebound Ministry)

The Elizabeth Circle and The Ruth Circle ministers to our home bound members through visits, delivering gifts and cards at Easter and Christmas, with assistance from other ladies. In addition, we honor the Veterans in November by making patriotic ribbons for them to wear at church, and support all the projects of the LWML.

Ruth Circle

(Fundraising)

The Ruth Circle supports the LWML with sales of RADA cutlery as a fundraiser and distributes the Samaritan's Purse boxes to the congregation, as well as coordinating delivery of them to the  proper drop-off site. 

Esther Circle

(Mission Outreach)

Throughout the year, this circle assembles hygiene kits and school kits which are distributed to local schools and organizations, such as Safe Harbor and St. Stephens Lutheran School, as the need is determined. They also assemble and collect smaller hygiene kits for the distribution to local organizations that serve the homeless and for local school teachers to distribute to their students.. The items for these kits are donated by each LWML member as well as members of the SSLCMS congregation who wish to help with these endeavors.  Esther members sell Happy Home food flavorings and colorings and assist with Joy Events, Zone Rallies and Camp Linn Haven Retreats.

Mary Circle

(Minister to College Students, Military Personnel & New Mothers)

The Mary Circle ministers to college students and members of the military with cards, gift cards, and other mailings. We honor new mothers with a beautiful crocheted blanket and hat when their precious babies are born. We also honor each baby or child who is baptized with a handmade wooden Baptism Block. Confirmands are also honored on their special day.

Quilter Circle

(Fellowship & Service )

This group of ladies meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 12:00 PM in the Conference Room of the Administration Building. They tack quilts to send to those in need. We welcome anyone who can be in attendance. We also need ladies who can occasionally do some sewing at home to piece the fabric for the quilt tops. If you enjoy sewing and good conversation this circle is for you!
