United Methodist Women

Purpose of the United Methodist Women

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.

 

Our UMW President, Elsie, would love to have you join the women of the North Manchester UMC as we fellowship together.

Membership

OPEN TO ANY WOMAN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BELONG TO OUR CHURCH TO JOIN

 

Membership is for those women who wish to organize for mission through giving, prayer, study, action and service. Meetings include opportunities for worship, fellowship and programs that encourage women to grow in their faith and understanding of the world.

Meetings & Circles

United Methodist Women (UMW) meet in small groups called circles.  At the present time there are three circles: Evening Circle, Faith Circle and Ruth Circle.  There are also women who belong as Members at Large.

 

In addition to the circle meetings, other meetings are held throughout the year:

  • Executive Committee meets to plan UMW activities/meetings
  • World Day of Prayer
  • Prayer and Self Denial
  • World Day of Prayer, May Friendship Day and World Community Day, Church Women United
  • Guest Night and Social Action
  • Mission u
  • Spring and Fall District Meeting
  • Indiana Annual Meeting
  • General Meeting/World Thank Offering/Pledge Service

 

Our members are avid readers and participate in the UMW Reading Program which offers the opportunity to deepen spiritually and to broaden understanding of mission.. Information is available and our church library is well stocked with books and magazines on the reading list.

Evening Circle

The Evening Circle meets the third Monday of every month at 7:00 PM. in the church's Felowship Hall unless otherwise noted. The purpose of the Evening Circle is to fellowship and share about God's Love in our lives.  This circle has a mission of prayer for others and supports missions within and outside the walls of our church.  Different members present a program and each meetings has a hostess.

 

You will hear that at our annual bingo party held at Timbercrest Retirement Community each February.  UMW ladies and their guests are invited to win extremely valuable prizes.  These prizes range from the ever appreciated box of Kleenex to who knows what.  We also provide food for one of the Fellowship of Churches community meals, deliver flowers to shut-ins, and have a Christmas soup and dessert supper.

Faith Circle

The Faith Circle lives up to their name, as they study and fellowship on the first Tuesday of each month, April through November.  They meet at 1:30 PM, in the Church's Fellowship Hall. UMW members take turns providing the lesson or program for these charming, interesting and inquisitive women.
