The meeting begins around 9:15 am. New Beginnings strives to support the church family by meeting to discuss spiritual, parenting, and women’s concerns. Though the circle focuses on women and family related issues, other causes are supported as they are brought to the circle from caring members. These missions include Safe Harbor, Meals on Wheels, youth ministries, Let There Be Mom, Little Steps, College Student Ministry, and Golden Strip Emergency Relief. In addition to our missions, we celebrate God’s love through fellowship events as a circle (holiday socials, dinners, teas/coffees, “unsecret sister” program with Wesleyan Circle, etc.). Ages of the members range from 20 to 50. However, all women of the church are welcome and encouraged to join. New Beginnings welcomes anyone that wants to be part of an active church circle!
