UMW
The organized unit of United Methodist
Women shall 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, supportive fellowship;
and to expand concepts of mission
through participation in the global
ministries of the church.
Joining this group of committed
women is a unique opportunity—no
matter who you are or where in your
life you are at this moment—to
move in harmony with other women
who have been responding to this
Purpose since 1869.
Circles of Love
A circle is ongoing and never ending.
A circle comes in many sizes, and
the United Methodist Women are unique
in our unity and diversity. Our
connective structure encompasses
the work of over one million United
Methodist Women around the world.
Our basic guides are the Bible,
the Book of Discipline, Social Principles,
Policy Statements from the Women's
Division, and our Handbooks.
The UMW Unit of First United Methodist
Church has four Circles. Each circle
meets once a month. The Unit meets
quarterly.
- Circle I –
Meets 4th Monday each month at
2:00 pm.
UMW Circle I supports the Kate
Duncan Smith DAR School. Circle
I is collecting UPC codes from
Campbell products, used ink cartridges
and small cell phones.
Campbell no longer requires the
front label for this program,
but the UPC code from their thousands
of products is valid. This includes
items with the name Campbell,
V8, Pepperidge Farm, Swanson &
Prego! A full list is available
at www.labelsforeducation.com
or from the church office.
From computer ink jet and laser
printers to copiers and fax machines,
used ink cartridges can be redeemed
for cash. Recycling is not only
good for the school but good for
our environment. Every cartridge
that is remanufactured is a cartridge
that does not end up in our country's
landfills.
The money earned from this program
is used to purchase computer equipment,
software, and other items needed
for the classrooms and student
programs such as band, art, and
choir.
- Circle II –
Meets 4th Tuesday each month at
10:00 am in the church parlor.
- Inez Crain
Circle – Meets 2nd Tuesday
each month at 7:00 pm
- Susanna Wesley
Circle – Meets 1st Thursday
each month at 6:30 pm.
UMM
All men are invited to join in at
monthly breakfast meetings that
are held on the 3rd Sunday of each
month. Other various activities
are planned for local missions and
projects. |
