UMW Circles:

Circle of Hope — The Circle of Hope, Trinity’s most recently formed United Methodist Women’s Circle, holds meetings the third Sunday of each month at 5 pm in the Seekers Sunday-School Classroom. Members’ ages range from 20-something to 50-something. Meetings usually consists of a brief business review, including any updates or news on current projects, followed by a short devotion with plenty of time in between for chatting and getting to know one another. Refreshments are provided.

This circle was born to give women an opportunity to come together in fellowship and to develop a community within the church for support, spiritual growth, and outreach. It offers women a chance to make new friends, strengthen current relationships, and learn from one another in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our group was named for the goals we aim to accomplish – giving HOPE to women and children through service and gifts. Our past and planned projects benefit a variety of groups including Trinity UMYF, Epworth Children's Home, the Aiken Pregnancy Care Center (APCC), the Augusta Burn Center, the Honduras Agape Foundation, and the Wysongs (Trinity’s missionaries in the Ukraine). We are proud to be involved at Trinity by serving within our church and by spreading Christ’s love in Trinity’s name. We invite any ladies of the church to join us monthly for fellowship, devotion, and service.

Friendship Circle — The Friendship Circle's focus is on nuturing. The Circle nuture the “sweet folks,” the elderly single members of Trinity's congregation, with remembrances several times throughout the year. The Circle also plans to begin nuturing our elderly in nursing homes. Need families are nutured at Christmas. Circle members nurture each other at monthly meetings through devotions, prayer and fellowship and throughout the year as secret pals, dinners and weekend retreats.

Joy Circle — The Joy Circle is a group of mature women that meet the first Tuesday of each month (Sept.-June). During each meeting, there is a devotion, a short program and discussions about ministering to needs of others. Funds collected during the year are used for church and community needs.

Susannah Wesley Circle — The Susanna Wesley Circle meets on the 3rd Monday of every month (Sept.-May) at 10:00 a.m., in the room across from the church office. The Cirlce has a Bible study led by Circle members along with a regular meeting. The Circle is involved in helping women and children in many areas — locally in our church and community and through the UMW organization. All ladies are welcome to join us.
