Bless the Lord, O my
soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits,
who forgives all your
iniquity,
who heals all your
diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast
love and mercy,
who satisfies you with all good
so that your youth is renewed
like the eagle’s.
- Psalm 103:1-5

GENERAL INFORMATION
Circle of Women meet in the Parish Center
every Thursday morning from 9:15-11:30 a.m. from September to
May. We are a self-supporting group so a free-will
offering is collected to cover expenses. We ask for a
donation of $3 per meeting if you require childcare, but you
may give what your family budget allows. On the first
Thursday of every month, extra childcare will be
available. Please call Rita, our Childcare Coordinator,
at (651) 639-0291 to register your child(ren) no later than
the Monday before the meeting so we can make sure we have
enough childcare help. |

BRUNCH
INFORMATION
