United Women in Faith
To know God and develop a creative, supportive friendship
|
The missions of United Women in Faith , formerly UMW, focus on needs of women of all ages, as well as children. See the bulletin board outside the gym for details of our current mission projects happening at Christ UMC. For 150 years, members of United Women in Faith and predecessor organizations have been involved in mission that includes prayer, study, and action.
The United Women in Faith at Christ UMC is made up of women from various life stages and with many different interests. There are monthly small group meetings called circles. The United Women in Faith also sponsors luncheons and informational meetings. Those occasions will be announced on the home page of this website. Any woman can be a member of United Women in Faith, and there are no dues and no attendance requirements. We invite all women of Christ UMC to come join the fun! |

More Activities for Women
Witty Knitters
Meeting together to knit Prayer Shawls, which are then prayed over by the group and given to those challenged by health concerns, facing hospital procedures or stays, or who have experienced loss.
Women's Book Club
Generally meeting the 4th Monday of each month (except July). Please check the Connection newsletter for meeting time/date, and book of the month. The goal in our group is to read one book chosen from each United Women in Faith Reading Program category: Education for Mission, Leadership Development, Nurturing for Community, Social Action, and Spiritual Growth. The rest of the reading year is discretionary reading, chosen by the group from suggestions by members.
The United Women in Faith Reading Program is a study opportunity, but it also encourages members to think critically about current issues through an annual selection of member-reviewed books. It offers an excellent opportunity to deepen your spirituality and to broaden your understanding of our mission work.
