SUMMARY:Sarah Circle
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Circle is one of the women’s circles that are a part of Presbyterian Women in our church. They support the missions of our local church as well as the church worldwide. \nAn integral part of this fellowship of women is their Bible study. The focus of this year’s study: Sacred Encounters: The Power & Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke – Acts\, written by Olive Mahabir. Within her study\, she invites us to ‘‘consider Jesus and his disciples who shared the Good News through sacred encounters with everyday people.’’ \nWomen’s circles at First Church are a wonderful way to seek fellowship and service at First Church.
