Miriam Circle meets at 10:00 am in the church library the second Tuesday morning of each month from September through May. Miriam Circle has been a small Bible Study group for women at First Lutheran Church for many years. We welcome new members. We meet Our studies are usually from the Lutheran Women's Missionary League Quarterly publication, which includes three Bible studies in each issue. We take an offering at each meeting and decide in December and again in May what mission projects we want to send what's been given in that time period to. Whether you are a long time member or would just like to come and see if you'd like to be part of our group we hope to see you there. Just bring your Bible. The lesson will be waiting there for you
