Evelyn Townsend Circle – Women’s Mission Group

The Evelyn Townsend Mission Circle meets the 2nd Monday of each month from September through May. This is a warm and welcoming Circle of women who are active and engaged in supporting various mission projects in and around the Roanoke Valley. New members are always welcome!

Goal:

To “go into all the world” through our mission projects with the message of Christ and showing a spirit of love and caring for all people. We strive to grow closer and stronger in our relationship with God and in our friendship with each other, to encourage others to join our Circle, and to continue to be a vibrant and important part of Calvary’s ministry.

We believe that the call to influence the world for Christ transcends gender and we specifically value the call as it relates to women. We hold fast to Christ’s command in Scripture to live a missional lifestyle.

Of the twelve charter members Esther Crosier, Sue Epperly, Betty Hall, and Mary Ellen Gearhart and Evelyn Lewis are still working within the group.

Activities:

The Circle holds an annual fundraiser, selling calendars to support their mission work. In the past year they have given over $1000.00 to such organizations as Friendship House, Samaritan Inn, the Good Neighbors Fund, Missionaries Coppages and Barbees, Roanoke Community Gardens, Hurt Park Elementary School, Ronald McDonald House and Local Area on Aging. They also regularly support the efforts of these organizations by assisting with gathering donations or volunteering to serve a meal to help those within the community.

In addition to the community work that they do, the Circle actively supports Calvary’s ministries through greeting cards, visits and phone calls on the various occasions of joy or concern/sadness that occurred in the lives of our church members and friends.
