Women’s Wellness Circle: Sharing Ideas & Experiences

Wednesdays at 7pm, thru November 20, in the Fireside Room

The responsibilities of caregiving for family, friends, and communities, alongside demanding careers or volunteering, often take a toll on women’s wellness. When we take time to gather, we can share tools and resources with one another, accept that we are in this together, support one another, and continue doing these tasks while protecting our wellness. Each week we’ll share and discuss a scheduled topic, but also check in with one another. Facilitated by Heather Gleason. Sign-up here.

Advent Study: Mondays in December, 11am-12pm

Beginning December 2, join Pastor Emma to read the short book Christmas in the Four Gospel Homes: An Advent Study. Order your copy now! (Also available on Kindle.) This Advent study will help us anticipate the gift of Jesus as we explore the unique ways each of the gospel writers describes the incarnation. We visit the “home” of Mark—a spare, simple house—then travel to the fully decked out home of Luke and his familiar nativity story. With stops at Matthew’s and John’s abodes, too, we notice how the differing stories emphasize various aspects of God-made-flesh.

Naomi-Ruth Circle Meets Wednesdays at 10:30am

Women of FPCRO, mark your calendars and attend Naomi-Ruth Circle! Circle meets at 10:30am in the Fireside Room the second Wednesday of the month September to June. We begin with fellowship and snacks, share joys and concerns, and learn of various missions, and conclude with Bible Study. This year’s study is “Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke through Acts,” produced by Presbyterian Women/Horizons Bible Study.

the 10:30am service to greet folks and hand out bulletins. After worship, retrieve the completed
pew rack Friendship pad forms. A sign-up sheet is on the table in the Narthex. Questions? Contact Gail Meengs.
