UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
PURPOSE:
The organized unit of UNITED METHODIST WOMEN shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
An invitation to membership
To the woman who finds meaning in her church and is drawn to its fellowship, who wants to combine fellowship with study, worship and outreach opportunities, who feels she has gifts that are to be shared with others, who seeks a supportive community to affirm her own sense of purpose and commitment to God
United Methodist Women invites you to:
"grow spiritually through worship, Bible study and prayer, celebrate the person you are becoming in Jesus Christ, develop meaningful and lasting relationships, share who you are and your gifts, take action and make a difference in your community and the world."

Executive committee meetings are normally held the first Sunday each month at 12:00 noon in the Conference Room. Circle Chairperson or a representative from each circle is asked to attend the meeting.
The Unit activities vary from year to year. For several years we have sponsored a World Thank Offering Luncheon on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Members offer their thanks throughout the year with monetary donations, which are then used for local and worldwide missions.
The four circles are involved in a great variety of missions and community outreach projects.
Information for each Circle may be found by clicking on the appropriate link at the top of this page.
