United Women in Faith--Formerly United Methodist Women
Membership in United Women in Faith is open to women of all ages and stages in life (married or single; employed, stay-at-home moms or retired; teens, mothers, grand-mothers or great-grandmothers) who are interested in the fellowship, service and learning opportunities of this mission-minded organization. We have many members who belong to our three circles (small groups that meet separately consisting of Deborah Circle, Elizabeth Circle, and Sewing Circle) and many who do not belong to a circle. The UWF comes together the first Thursday of the month with a catered meal (excluding July and January).
Deborah Circle meets the 3rd Monday of the month at 1:30 pm
Elizabeth Circle meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at 2:00 pm
Sewing Circle meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm in the church dining room.
