United Methodist Women

Purpose

        The organized unit of the 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.

        The emblem for United Methodist Women affirms our continuity as women organized for mission. Its symbolism affirms our continuous growth and renewal.

        The emblem for United Methodist Women, as well as that for the church, combines the cross and a flame symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The cross and flame are ancient symbols of the church, dating back to the days of Christ and the Pentecost. Each evokes images of sacrifice, witness and service. Both remind us of the opportunities and obligations of discipleship. Paul's ancient words to Timothy have fresh and contemporary meaning..."I now remind you to stir into the flame the gift of God which is within you..."

        The Crossett UMW is one of the most active in the Southeast District and has received recognition from the Conference for participation in all projects of the Conference and Women's Division.  These projects include Mile of Pennies, United Methodist Women's Day, the Program for Racial Justice, 5-Star Unit, and numerous local undertakings such as the preparation and distribution of fruit baskets to shut-ins at Christmas time.
