United Methodist Women

UMW LogoThe United Methodist Women are planning a very ambitious 2010 calendar of educational events, service opportunities, reading and sharing -- all in support of our UMW Purpose:

“…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 Jamieson women have developed a supportive fellowship, adding a special dimension to church attendance, and we welcome all women to participate at whatever level of commitment they are able. While our two active circles are an important part of our ministry to women, affiliation with a circle or even church membership is not required. We understand that many of our church women are employed, have family obligations or simply aren’t able to commit to a monthly meeting. Our members may choose any option:

New Beginnings Circle – meets the 4th Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am, Sally Morgan, Chair

Jeanne Hinson Circle – meets the 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm, Mildred Jolly, Chair

Elizabeth McLean Crowder Circle -meets the 2nd Tuesday at 10:15 a.m., Doris Koch, Chair

No circle affiliation – simply complete a “Pledge to Mission” card with your financial pledge and return it to Win Baker, Irene Chapman, or one of the Circle Leaders.
