United Methodist Women
Purpose
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. Ages of our members range from 21 to 95.
Missions
Our circles are involved with Meals on Wheels; Habitat for Humanity; Salvation Army; Home Pregnancy Center; Methodist Children's Home in Waco, TX; Aldersgate Enrichment Center in Brownwood,TX; United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Sager Brown Mission Trips. Most circles make money donations. UMW members are actively involved in all mission trips. There will be two weeks in the spring that will be co-sponsored by our Mission Team and UMW.
UMW believes that missions are vital to the Methodist Church. They have been leaders in this endeavor for more than 130 years. UMW is actively involved in supporting the mission field of the church and take great pride in the fact that we are able to provide for one-third of each missionary's annual salary. Overall, UMW is involved with more than 100 projects ranging from orphanages to a retirement home for missionaries. There are the two United Community Centers in Ft. Worth sponsored by the Central Texas Conference UMW.
Want to become involved with our local program; tell a member of any Sunday School class, any woman in the church, or one of the pastors. They will connect you with Roz Honchul, Sue Boudreaux, Nina Fowler, Marty Portmann, or Marie Banzon.
