Circles are smaller groups within United Methodist Women, created to provide greater freedom for individual participation, nurturing of membership and development of leadership. Circles allow members to be involved in special areas of interest or concern and offer a selection of meeting times to fit the different schedules of young parents, employed women and retired women. Circles also provide opportunities for development of lasting lifelong friendships. New circles can be created to meet other interest, age or time possibilities.

Supportive Members usually do not attend circle meetings, but they are supportive of our projects and concerns through contributions of money, baked goods, bazaar items, etc. They help when they can at rummage sales, dinners, baking cookies, etc. They prayerfully support us when they are unable to actively participate. These members are encouraged to attend general meetings and/or circle meetings when they are able to do so.
