United Methodist Women
ABOUT UMW:The organized unit of United Methodist Women (UMW) is 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.
United Methodist Women has organized "circles" within the unit to encourage smaller groups of women with common interests to meet in order to learn, share and support each other. All groups invite anyone with an interest to visit and become a part of that group. Contact the Rev. Leslie Herrscher, staff liaison for UMW. For additional contact information, click HERE.
Child care is available for all meetings, unless otherwise specifically noted, by calling the group leader four days prior to the start time of said meeting. Cancellation of previously-made child care reservations is appreciated.
