Dorcas Circle

Chair: Linda Willenberg

Staff Liaison: Sherry Grindeland, Fellowship Coordinator

Dorcas Circle is about service and fellowship as we support Lutheran World Relief, Compass Housing Alliance, and other charities.

Dorcas Circle meets on the first Tuesday of every month, from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm in 302/Fellowship Hall South.

Dorcas Circle welcomes everyone to…
