Women of the ELCA

There are currently two women's groups that meet regularly at St. John's: 

• Naomi Circle (the 3rd Monday of each month at 12:30 pm)

• Ruth Circle (the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm). 

During 2007 these two circles along with other women of St. John's have participated in the following projects: 

• Making quilts for Lutheran World Relief

• Selling fair-trade chocolate bars to help the cocoa farmers in Ghana

• Packaging Health Kits for Lutheran World Relief

• Facilitating the "Giving Tree" (which enables the congregation to purchase Christmas presents for families through Lutheran Social Services and All People's Church)

• Organizing bake sales

• Providing food and service for various potlucks, funeral and wedding luncheons

• Sponsoring a Thankoffering Service with offerings going to women's ministries of the ELCA

• Offering study and fellowship to women within each circle 

In 2009, we look forward to continuing our various ministries here at St. John's and welcoming other women into opportunities for fellowship and service. All women are welcome to attend either of these two groups! If the time doesn't work for you, how about creating a third women's group?  We'll help you advertise and get organized. Talk to Wendy Heidtke.
