United Methodist Special Offerings

Christian education is a life-long process of spiritual growth. Our library has several helpful resources. We also provide opportunities for adult study and fellowship during the week and on Sunday mornings.

We fellowship together whenever we gather; however, there are some special fellowship opportunities and groups within the church, including Breakfast in the Park, Family Fun Night, Gym Activities, Friendly Couples, and Free Spirits.

In addition to regular meetings on the second Monday of the month, the women gather together in smaller, circle meetings. The UMW sponsors a semi-annual Rummage Sale. These proceeds, combined with their volunteer efforts, enable them to support various mission programs, including:
