Esther Circle is a small group of empowering women who encourage one another to pursue the Lord. 

Encouraging One Another
A Women of Faith Study with a Foreword by Nicole Johnson
Hebrews 10:24, "Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds."
     "I believe it's a mission that God himself has put in all of us.  As believers, we do not live on an island.  We are part of a great universe of people who are loved by God, and his desire is that, as his children we care about others."  Luci Swindoll
      Sometimes we plod through life with our head down and our back bent under the weight of our load.  We feel unimpressive, unkempt, unappreciated, and unneeded.  God doesn't want to leave us staggering under such weight of discouragement.  It's quite the opposite, really.  Our Heavenly Father loves us so much He does His best to cheer us up and cheer us on.  Did you know God planned ahead for all of your gloomy days?  He knows just when you'll need a little lift, and has arranged for encouragement to be right there, waiting for you to discover it!  Encouragement comes from fellow believers, as you reach out and touch one another's lives.  God did not leave us to face life alone.  He is with us always, and we are all in this thing together.  So let's encourage each other along the way.

Esther Circle meets at 1:00 pm
on the 3rd Tuesday, September through May.


​Esther Circle's ministry is important because we cherish our friendships with each other.  We share our joys and concerns and  reach out to each other with encouragement and love.  We also enjoy our social gatherings with Lydia Circle, where all the women of the Church are invited.  Our meetings consist of prayer, devotions and lessons with scripture readings.  We have discussed ways to discover and appreciate hidden joys in life, no matter the circumstances, in the midst of challenges we face every day.  We are to do all the good we can, to live a life of balance, contentment and hope.  As children of God we have the opportunity to grow in His fullness of all God has called and created us to be.

Esther Circle meets on the 3rd of each month at 1 :00 PM from Sept.-May.  We meet in members home and like the comfortable setting there.  In December instead of a lesson, we have a fun Christmas party.  We also enjoy eating out at a restaurant for lunch at our May meeting.
