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 by active participation in the global
ministries of the church.
Units of United
Methodist Women throughout the world work to carry out
the above stated purpose. The unit here at Hawthorne First United
Methodist Church is no exception. With our sister units in
Women's Division, we provide about half of the support of the General
Board of Global Ministries by our second-mile pledges to mission and
other donations.
Our members are very
active in many areas of missions, freely donating
time, money, and goods. We operate a Thrift Shop each Saturday
and hold an annual bazaar with proceeds from both going to local,
national, and global projects.
We meet as a total unit
each quarter. The three circles meet each
month.
- Berkstresser Circle - third Wednesday, 3:00 PM, except in
the summer
- Dorcas Circle - fourth Wednesday, 9:30 AM
- Surrency Circle - third Monday, 7:30 PM, except in the
summer
All meeting times and
places are listed in the weekly church bulletin
and monthly newsletter.
We meet to grow spiritually through our
devotions and programs, to plan mission projects, and for
fellowship.
Membership is open to
all women, not just United Methodist, and a
cordial invitation is extended to all to become a part of this great
mission organization.
