Afternoon Circle

All about us!

Around 1921, the ladies of the congregation formed a group which is now known as the Afternoon circle. It is primarily a social group of 15-18 senior women who are members of the Medford United Methodist Church. They meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Each meeting starts with devotions followed by a business meeting and a time of fellowship. Throughout the year, activities are scheduled for fund raising to help with the needs of the local church, community and a few national or international missions.
