Miriam Circle has been an integral part of Cross & Crown for 31 years. Years ago it was agreed that the group be named Miriam Circle after Miriam from the Bible and also in "honor" of Miriam Fisher, wife of founding Pastor Carl Fisher.
Over the years they have enjoyed speakers from various ministries in the community such as Changed Choices, Turning Point, and Beds for Kids. The annual yard sale is incredibly hard work but 100% of the profits are used for outreach.
Over the years, Miriam Circle has supported:
Matthews Police Department with bulletproof vests
Matthews Fire Department with fireman life alarms
Cross & Crown members with life crisis needs
Homeless Military Vets
Victims of Human Trafficking
Local children in need of personal and scholastic help
Alzheimer's Walk
Angel Tree
Matthews Free Medical Clinic
Hospital in Tanzania
VBS supplies
Various youth activities at Cross & Crown
Lutheran Disaster Relief
Lutheran World Relief
Miriam Circle also organizes an annual women's retreat which provides enjoyable fellowship and memories.
Miriam Circle meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7 pm. All women of Cross & Crown are welcome.
