Circles

 

Circles are simple closed shapes – hard to see where the shape begins or ends.  A “circle” can be small or grow larger without changing it’s original shape or purpose.  How would you define a circle? 

Our Women of the ELCA here at Brandon are also known for our “Circles”.  They are named after famous women in the Bible.  We use Circles to show hospitality, to share, enhance friendships and relationships.  A circle can show equality and strength – upholding each other in love and prayer. 

As opposed to a rectangular shape, a circle gives each person the same view-point and access.  There’s always room to add another person into the circle without changing the dynamics.   Although a “circle” is considered a “closed” shape, we don’t consider our Welca Circles closed.  They are open to all to join and share.  A circle is a group of women who gather for a purpose. Consider becoming a part of our Circles of Bible Study – a place of growing in your faith and relationship with    other faithful women of our church.

 

Circles generally meet on the 3^rd Wednesday of the month in the morning or afternoon.  The evening Circle meets on the 3^rd Thursday of the month unless otherwise noted.
