Being an organization that
is celebrating 150 years …… We have a legacy of being a devoted and giving
group of women. Our purpose is to
know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ.
We strive for creative, supportive fellowship, and to expand concepts of
mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
Our local unit consists of
3 groups or circles. They are the
Sarah Circle with 15 members; the Miriam Circle also with 15 members; and our
newest Circle, the Mary Circle with 17 members.
Our Circles are always open and we welcome new members.
If anyone is interested in starting a new Circle, please contact the
Church Office.
As members, we find
ourselves busy sewing lap quilts; making bandages and putting together mission
supplies. We help with weddings and
funeral dinners. We strive to keep
the kitchen in good order and supplied.
Three times a year we have
combined meetings with good food and a guest speaker. We usually celebrate UMW Sunday with a guest speaker for our
morning worship services.
Our second annual Fish Fry
with the United Methodist Men will be held in the fall.
We are fortunate to
have 2 of our UMW who have served on the District level in the Columbus area.
The District offers several retreats and functions.
The UMW is not only a local organization but has affiliations at the
state, national and international levels. We
are part of a global body with the same purpose.
We have 45 active and
19 inactive members. We welcome new
members who want to share their talents, fellowship, joy and love of Christ.
