Priscilla Clubs Each second and fourth
Wednesday evening (6 p.m.-8 p.m.) from September through
early June finds the Priscilla Group meeting in the
Hospitality Room at Winchester Community Church.
Approximately ten ladies have faithfully gathered for
several years now to fellowship and study. Some learning
experiences we've shared consist of: a bible study:
Experiencing God, a radio evangelical audio series, a
reading/discussion of Within Heaven's Gates, a biblical
comparison of fifty women of the Bible. Positive,
encouraging fellowship also occurs at every meeting. A light
work-out/exercise session will open our meetings this fall.
Each season concludes with the group sharing a day trip to
welcome summer vacation and family activity until September
comes again.

in a Christian Bowling League on Monday evenings throughout
