A Little Bit About the UMW

The United Methodist Women, or UMW, is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and experience freedom as women through Jesus Christ.

Members of UMW not only serve in missions and local church support but also experience many opportunities for friendships and spiritual growth. Bi-monthly unit meetings include Bible study and our circles and sub-groups offer a variety of activities from quilting to Bible and book studies, to serving at wedding receptions and much more.

Sheltering Wings

Sheltering Wings Prayer Shawl Ministry is a ministry of the UMW, that is open to all women who like to knit or crochet and share their work with others. They make prayer shawls, baby blankets and lap blankets and each item they make and give away is prayed over by the group.

Sheltering Wings meets the first Thursday of every month in the conference room in the the Education Center (click here for a map) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Even if you don't know how to knit or crochet they are open to sharing their talents with anyone who wants to learn.
