Linda Griffeth and Sadie!
What are Circles?
​
Circles are small groups, a Presbyterian tradition in Women’s Ministry and at DCPC, to connect women of all ages to God’s glory. A Circle is where faith is nurtured and growth takes place through bible study, friendship and outreach. It is where women are challenged to stretch beyond their limits and Christian leadership is born, nurtured and sent forth into ministry.
All at DCPC are invited to participate in one or more of our 6 small groups. NO REGISTRATION NEEDED. Visit any group(s) you would like in order to learn what fits best for you.
For more information, please contact Linda Griffeth, DCPC PW Moderator. She will put you in touch with various leaders to learn more or attend a meeting. Join DCPC Presbyterian Women as we study God’s word and fellowship together!
