Each congregation of the United Methodist Church has a unit of UMW.
In our local unit, we meet together on the first Thursday of each month from September to December and from February to June for lunch followed by an informative and entertaining program designed to help us know God better, learn more about the challenges faced in our world, and to show us how we can meet the needs of others, both locally and globally.
All women are invited to explore what UMW has to offer. You do not even have to be part of the United Methodist Church in order to join UMW. You are invited to connect with the United Methodist Women by contacting the church office. We look forward to including you in the ministries of The United Methodist Women.
