Avondale Pattillo UMC
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. Each sub-group has its own projects. Our women are often the best-represented at district events. |
UMW Sub-groups at Avondale Pattillo UMC
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.
