What We Are. Approximately 200 women in our church belong to UMW, a world-wide organization approaching 1 million strong. United Methodist Women is that group of women in each church organized for mission and it “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.” (The Book of Discipline, ¶ 256.5)

General Meeting. We meet once a month as a unit, usually on the 2nd Thursday, at 11:20 a.m. over a coffee, brunch or a luncheon. Each meeting consists of singing, devotions, good food, interesting programs, and a little membership business. Sometimes unit meetings are held at noon on a Sunday instead, so keep an eye out for the month’s calendar. Click here to view the Program Schedule.
Circle Meetings. UMW also provides an opportunity to meet in smaller groups called “circles” for study and closer fellowship. Each circle supports at least one local mission project as well as the wider missions of the general unit and the Rocky Mountain Conference. Our unit currently has 8 circles representing a range of ages and meeting times. The schedule is provided to the right. Keep an eye on the bulletin board and Carillon for particular information each month.
