Welcome! Thank you for checking out our news. We, the Leadership Team, met in January and planned activities throughout the year. We are excited about 2022! Of course, because of CO-VID, many of the state level meetings will be held virtually, but can provide you spiritual health, fun activities, Bible studies and much more!! So, grab a friend and come join us! Make sure you read to the end of this note!

formally United Methodist Women
Attentions all readers, young and not-so-young!
The UMW reading program is open to everyone! We have added new books to our lending library for all ages and invite you to participate. There is a sign out sheet in our lending library along with information about the program. You can also contact members of UMW for more information or follow this link: https://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/readingprogram. You can get books from other sources such as the public library as well. A small group meets every other month to discuss what we are reading for anyone who might be interested in our book club. Those who read one book from each category and return the form before the end of August will get a certificate and be entered in a drawing.
Happy Reading!
Pledge: Each member is asked to prayerfully consider giving to our Unit to assist with our designated mission outreach efforts. Each woman decides how much to give and only the Treasurer is aware of the amount. Please consider giving this year!
