Circles
Circles are the heart of UMW, providing women the opportunity to meet in small groups to gather for fellowship, service, study and spiritual growth. Each Circle has its own purpose and style, but all are focused on connecting Chamblee First United Methodist women in a more intimate setting. Circles always seek new members and welcome visitors.
Alma North | First Monday of the month | 6:30 p.m.
Contact: Becky Craven
Our ladies grow in Christian fellowship each month by participating in service projects that benefit the church and other ministries. Some of our projects include donating items to kids in need at local schools and other mission projects. We meet at the church each month.

We meet in a member’s home at 10:00 a.m. for fellowship and food, sharing of praises and prayer concerns, UMW business, and a program, ending by noon. We support UMW and church mission projects throughout the year.
