WOMEN’S GROUP

Around 1974, a group of women at St. Bartholomew’s Church formed a committee to 
organize a fair.  The purpose was to make enough money to outfit the kitchen of the original
Church.  In addition, the women wished to foster and maintain their interdependence upon 
each other and their Church, and to offer their ministry to fellow parishioners.

After twenty-five years, the annual fair has gone by the way.  There is a mini fair planned for
the holiday season, after the Sunday masses.  The Women’s Group is available to serve lunch
following a funeral Mass, or to help other ministries in any reasonable capacity.  Occasionally,
the church kitchen gets a scrubbing and re-organizing.

The Women’s Group still meets every Tuesday to support each other spiritually, mentally, and
emotionally.  New members are enthusiastically welcomed.  The normal meeting begins at 11 am.
There is knitting, crafting, talking and lunch at noon.   Once every month there is a potluck lunch
at the Church Hall.  The majority of the members are older ladies.  They are a reservoir of 
experience, patience and wisdom available to all parishioners.
