Two circles of United Presbyterian Women met during March. Circle III met at the church on March 14. There were three in attendance. Marilyn Johnston led the meeting by lighting the Christ candle and praying.

Phyllis VanGerpen gave the lesson on Hebrews. She prefaced the lesson by asking the question, ?Who do you say the Hebrews were??

Hebrews is a book that is more like a sermon, pointing out clearly the divinity and humanity of Jesus. Hebrews points to the persecution the Hebrews endured. Phyllis pointed out that Christians today in many parts of the world are enduring the same persecution.

The book of Hebrews points to the greatness of Jesus. He is greater than Moses and the Old Testament prophets. He is God?s son and made the ultimate sacrifice. Christians are challenged to stand firm in their faith.

Betty Colby was responsible for devotions. Exodus 15:20-21 spoke of Miriam as a brave and courageous leader. Her leadership directed people to the Lord. Betty also read the poem, ?One Solitary Life.?

Phyllis gave the missionary report by handing out leaflets of the Callisons? ministry.

Marilyn dismissed the group with prayer.
