United Methodist Women
The UMW is open to all women regardless of church affiliation, who want to be in service to Christ and the community. Epworth United Methodist Church currently has two circles of UMW members.
The Seekers – meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm at members’ homes. Programs are built around the work of the denomination in the world, and issues of social concern. Pledges go to the district, conference, and the Women’s Division. Money is raised to support local, conference, national and world missions.
The Lamplighters – meet the first Wednesday of each month, at 7:00pm at the church. This circle combines Bible study, prayer and support for one another, with active hands-on participation and financial aid for local missions. Organizations currently being supported are: Meals on Wheels, Waves, My Friend’s House, Graceworks, Miriam’s Promise, Mountain Top and several individual needs. Childcare at the monthly meetings is provided as needed (Contact the church ahead of time.)
Although all share the common goals of fellowship and missions as stated above, each group offers a rather unique purpose and perspective to allow for individual needs. All groups welcome and encourage new membership. Call the church office (790-6695) for contact people within each circle.
