Wesley's United Methodist Women
Our United Methodist Women's unit is a relatively new group within
the Wesley congregation. The U.M.W., as it is called, actually has a long
tradition. It is part of a movement that began back in the 1870's as
Methodist women gathered to address their spiritual needs. From the
beginning they organized efforts to address the needs of children and to
strengthen the missionary work of the church.
Today more than one million other women, including the members of
United Methodist Women of this congregation, continue this heritage of service
to others. United Methodist Women is an organized group of women to work
under the direction, authority and example of Jesus Christ, for the continuing
humanization of God's world, mobilizers for the resources of women, and active
participants in the global mission of the church.
We support mission projects - local, national and around the world
- with our love, gifts, service, and prayers. We try to become whole
persons through reading, study and prayer.
- Upcoming U.M.W. Events
- Sunday, June 26: U.M.W. Sunday; We lead morning worship
services.
- Wesley U.M.W. Donates Money for Youth
Mission Work
- Approximately $224 has been donated to Wesley Youth for 2011
mission work. The money donated were profits made from the 2010 nut
sales. Thank you to everyone who purchased nuts that made this donation
possible. The church's youth have also expressed their appreciation to
the U.M.W. for this kind gesture.
