WOMEN
AN
INVITATION
TO
MEMBERSHIP
Everything
becomes possible by the mere presence of someone who knows how to listen, to
love and to give of himself.
Elie Wiesel
An
Invitation to Membership..
To
the woman:
Who
finds meaning in her church and is drawn to its fellowship,
Whose
life is packed full of activity and obligations,
Who
struggles with loneliness or a sense of failure,
Who
juggles jobs and family, and tries to be faithful to both,
Who
wants to combine study with significant fellowship
and
outreach opportunities,
Who
seems overburdened with the traditional woman’s role of care giver,
Who
feels she has gifts which are wasted or undeveloped,
Who
wants to be accepted for who she is,
Who
needs a supportive community to affirm her own sense of
purpose
and commitment to God…
The Kemble
Memorial United Methodist Women invite all women to join in the ministry of
sharing love which is expressed through global and local mission involvement,
the support of Kemble United Methodist Church and through individual support
of each other in Circle membership.
The United
Methodist Women is the parent group of Kemble Memorial UMW whose Statement of
Purpose is:
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
through participation in the global ministries of the church.
It is the
largest women’s organization in the world with over 1 million members worldwide.
Kemble’s UMW has over 125 members and we welcome new members at any time.
New members may be members-at-large, or they may join a Circle, which is a small
group that meets approximately once a month.
The Kemble
Memorial UMW also holds four general membership meetings a year. Each is comprised
of a business meeting and a program designed to meet our Purpose.
