Women's Story Circle 2008 Speaker Series
Noon in Huffman Hall

The Women’s Story Circle is a monthly luncheon and fellowship event for women of all ages, featuring a woman from our parish telling her spiritual story. A donation of $5 may be made for the lunch. Most WSC events are held on the second Sunday of the month following the 10:30 a.m. service. Babysitting is always provided and children are fed lunch.
Reservations are suggested by calling the church office, 512-345-8314, or emailing Janie McMahan at jmcduncan2@austin.rr.com, or Leslie Kjellstrand at lkjellstrand@austin.rr.com. You may also sign up (through either of the above contacts) to be put on the WSC notification list, so that you can be notified by email of upcoming Women’s Story Circle events and other events sponsored by ECW.

The Women’s Story Circle features an inspirational talk by one of our women + lunch.

If given the opportunity, women minister to women.  This is a natural trait of womanhood and helps give women the strength and reserve to get through life’s toughest situations.  Each month after church, one woman from our St. Matthew’s family will share her story with other women.  At these informal sessions we will have a light lunch then hear about how women in our church have lived through cancer, divorce, loss of a child, health problems and other challenges.  Or we may hear about women who made choices for themselves about their careers, religion, marriages and retirement.  Some women will bring wonderful success stories; others stories of overcoming hardships and yet others of finding a new life due to a different career or family change. 

Sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of St. Matthew’s, the Women’s Story Circle will typically be held the second Sunday of each month in Huffman Hall.  A light lunch will be served at a cost of $5 per person. 

Babysitting will be provided and lunch will be served to children as well.  Reservations for lunch and childcare are requested and will be taken by email to Janie McMahan, jmcduncan2@austin.rr.com or 512-496-8494, or in the Commons after church. However, enough food will be available so you can attend and pay for lunch even if you have not made a reservation.
