Women in the ELCA (WELCA)

(Martha Circle Chairs)

Martha Circle is a group of women who meet at 9:30 a.m. on the 4^th Thursday of each month, September through May, except for November and December when we meet on the 3^rd Thursday. Our meetings are held in member’s homes or in the Saint Mark lounge, depending on the hostess/hostesses desire. All Saint Mark women are invited to join us for Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and service.

This year our study was written by Rev. Gwen Sayler, a professor of Hebrew Bible at Wartburg Seminary, and Rev. Ann Fritschel, an associate professor of Hebrew Bible at Wartburg.

Martha's Circle supports Helping Hands, Cluster events, and the Willamette Lutheran Home birthday party for residence once a year. There is Bible study every month, September through June, a summer picnic in July, and a Christmas party in December. We participate in the Central Willamette Cluster Advent breakfast and Spring Spiration.
