United Methodist Women

The United Methodist Women (UMW) organization at our church is quite active and includes several sub-groups.
Sub-groups (formerly called "circles") usually meet monthly for a program, fellowship, and often a meal.
UMW is a mission-focused organization, with each sub-group having its own projects. Some annual activities include a Book Reading Program and sponsoring a Mission Study.
Our women are often the best-represented at district UMW events.
Our Current UMW Sub-groups
Study in Action
This large, very active sub-group meets during the day. One of the sub-group's many actions is sponsoring children at the United Methodist Children's Home.
WSG (Women Serving God)
This sub-group meets at 7:30pm the second Monday of every month, usually at The Gathering Place. A Book Reading Program, retreats, community outreach, and spirit-filled meetings, often with guest speakers, are only a part of the WSG experience.
Upcoming events focused on women
