The Christian Church in Oregon has a Regional Women's Circle that plans and coordinates the following ministries for women:

• Annual Fall Retreat for women for spiritual enrichment, usually held in October
• Spring Pray and Play Days in 5-6 locations around the region gather women from neighboring congregations for prayer and community time. 
• A service project meant to tie our local mission ministries together and make a bigger impact (Click Here For Information About the Yakama Christian Mission) while also encouraging women's groups to continue to give generously to the Disciples Mission Fund that supports the regional ministries as well as our missions around the globe.
• Distribution of the New Day Magazine for Christian Women, our denominations women's magazine
• Sharing information about the ministries to and for women around the world through our partner congregations ( www.discipleswomen.org )

The Women's Circle hopes to draw together women from the wide variety of women's groups now meeting in our congregations. In addition to traditional Christian Women's Fellowship (CWF) groups, many congregations have a variety of women’s ministry groups meeting for service, prayer, and study.  The regional women's events planners hope to draw women from both traditional and new forms of women's ministries.

For information about women’s ministries, contact Cathy Myers Wirt at the regional office or regional Women's Ministries Coordinator, Julie Hanna of the Salem First Christian Church. Both can be reached at odmail@oregondisciples.org or messages left for Julie at 503-226-7648.
