Women of Kirkwood

Our Mission

The organization and programs of the Women of Kirkwood (WOK) provide opportunities for women, as individuals and in groups, to grow in the knowledge of Christ and be strengthened as members of His Body in our contemporary world.

WOK Circles

The purpose of Circles is:

• To nurture love and peace in Christ Jesus;
• To offer group Bible study, prayer, worship, service and fellowship for the individual woman in a community of women.
• To provide opportunities to form personal friendships through which care and close support can be extended and received.

All interested women are encouraged to join us.

MONDAY EVENING CIRCLE
The Monday Evening Circle welcomes all women, even if they can only drop in once in a while. We meet on the third Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the parlor. We have no specific circle leader and rotate responsibility for teaching the lesson among members.
