United Methodist Women

As you know the purpose of United Methodist Women is to 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 and supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

Ladies, who are not members of United Methodist Women (UMW), are invited to become a part of a great organization. New comers do not have to be a member of the Methodist church to join. All are welcome! Please invite a friend. We are here to nurture each other and extend God's love!

Methodist Women also enable youth to be in mission by support of US-2 Program, the mission intern program and Global Justice Volunteer program.

There are several upcoming events for us to get actively involved in:

• UMW Assembly 2018 will be held May 18-20 in Columbus, OH. It is a forum for women to come together, to worship and learn about the needs of women, children and youth. There is a $300 fee. One day passes available for $125. Visit umwassembly.org for more information.
