Women's Groups

First-Grace Parish has three women's groups that offer the chance for women to get together for fellowship, Bible study, and to do mission work.  Each of the three groups meets monthly.

FRAUEN VEREIN: meets at Grace Church in North Branch on the second Wednesday of every month at 2:00p.m.  Frauen Verein is German and means, "women's group".  They share prayer, fellowship, as well as assemble some beautiful handstitched quilts, and they host monthly card parties for the community.  This group has been active since it was originally organized on November 8, 1905.

LADIES AID SOCIETY: meets at First Church on the first Wednesday of every month at 1:30 p.m.  They share devotions, do mission outreach work for the Seafarer's and other organizations, and conduct fundraisers for needed church items such as new carpet, repairs, and kitchen items.  Congratulations to the Ladies Aid Society on their 100th anniversary!

WELCA: (Women of the ELCA) is an evening group for women in the parish.  It meets on the Second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. (Please call for location).  This group enjoys Bible study, making yearly Christmas & Easter projects for our elderly parishoners, as well as making banners for both churches.  This group has been meeting since the 1990's, and thus is relatively new.
