United Methodist Women “Serve one another in love…” Galatians 5:13 United Methodist Women is a community of women whose purpose is to:
Membership is open to any woman who desires to belong and participate in the global mission of the church through prayer, giving, and service. General Meetings are held five times a year, alternating between daytime and evening. CirclesCircles provide a great way to get to know a smaller group of UMW women. The monthly meetings generally feature a short program, discussion, and social time. The circles also work together to support the UMW in hostessing general meetings and working on UMW mission projects. All women are encouraged to visit the circles and find one that fits their needs. Charity Circle (Members-at-Large): There are no monthly meetings, but these women attend general meetings and participate in fund raisers and other UMW events. Faith Circle: This group meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. in the parlor. Varied and interesting programs for all ages. Love Circle: Meets the 2nd Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the church Parlor. Programs are aimed at interests of both career women and homemakers. New Hope Circle: Meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in members’ homes. Working women, homemakers and lively retirees alike will find this a great place for fellowship. Patience Circle: Meets the 2nd Thursday at 9:30 a.m. in the Parlor. Babysitting is provided for all meetings. With a mixture of age groups and varied programs and speakers, there is something for everyone. MissionsThe UMW is very active in raising funds for missions through its Holiday Cookie Walk, “Cinn” Sundays, bi-annual Markets for Mission (rummage sales), and lots more.
