United Methodist Women

Our Purpose: The organized unit of United Methodist Women (UMW) shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and 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 Forrest Chapel UMW was organized 1946.  United Methodist Women is a mission organization dedicated to reaching out in love to members of the local unit as they serve God’s people in the world.  The emphasis of United Methodist Women is on home and global missions, and the organization supports a vast number of mission projects.  

General Business Meetings:   General business meetings are held on the 5th Tuesday of each quarter at 6:30 p.m. with a covered dish supper.  

Forrest Chapel UMW has two groups. The day group meets every 2nd Tuesday at 10 am and the night group meets every 3rd Thursday at 6:30 pm. United Methodist Women is the official women’s organization of the United Methodist Church. It’s membership is voluntary and open to all women committed to spreading the gospel through mission work. We invite you to join.

• Day Circle-The day circle meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a..m .  The meetings are in the fellowship hall of  the church. 
  
• Sisters in Christ Circle - Sisters In Christ is a part of the United Methodist Women. This group meets at 6:30 pm on the 3rd Thursday night of every month at various local restaurants. Members take turns presenting a devotional. This group likes to laugh and have fun. It is a great source of support as we juggle families and jobs while striving to be Godly women. For more information, please e-mail Kim Byford at kimb@hiwaay.net.
  

Mission- Some of our past  projects include chili supper and bake sale and making "goody bags" and sending them to college students.; missions in our community  include Hope Place, The Caring Place, SIFAT; special programs include World Thank Offering, Prayer and Self Denial.  

The UMW strongly supports efforts to help the less fortunate to have a safe, livable shelter. Fund raising projects provide money for unexpected needs in the church or in the immediate neighborhood. 

Come be a part of a circle to fellowship with other believers and take an active part in Christ's service.

United Methodist Men's Club

According to the Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Men shall be a creative, supportive fellowship of men who seek to know Jesus Christ, to grow spiritually, and to seek daily his will.  Its primary purpose is to declare the centrality of Christ in the lives of men and in all their relationships.

The Forrest Chapel United Methodist Men's Club meets the third Sunday morning of each month for breakfast in the fellowship hall.  Our cooks have breakfast ready at 7:00 a.m..  The business meeting is on Tuesday before the third Sunday at 7:00 p.m.

United Methodist Men's Club is  involved in local mission projects and sponsors a local missionary on a foreign mission project through  fund raising projects such as  barbecue chicken lunch.

Bible Study

We offer an exciting adult Bible study, every Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. We have three groups to choose from. One Bible study group led by Forrest Long meets in the Fellowship hall for a “lecture style” study. The three other groups are small groups and are led by Pat Byford, Patty Andrews and Pastor Patsy Carlberg.
