UNIT MEETING
Laura Gautney Black will share with us in the Chapel on Tuesday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. Since
March of 2007 when Laura was diagnosed with cancer, we have been touched by her family's journey
as we have read her journal entries. Laura's walk is a testimony of preservance and faith and we
welcome her as she comes "home" to share with us.

Statement of Purpose
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.
We are organized to be in mission for women, children, and youth. When we know
God and His love for us, then we can love each other and all persons throughout
the world. To become a whole person, we must first recognize that all persons
are equal in God's sight; the lowly, the least, the forgotten, the hungry, the
homeless, the oppressed. A supportive fellowship exists when we are concerned
for each other at all times, we celebrate joys and share sorrows. People are
hurting all over the world. Help us, Lord to be willing to use our resources,
gifts and talents for ALL your people. As we study and become more aware
of the needs in the world, we recognize the responsibility to respond to the
cries of the needy, the oppressed and those who have no voice of their own.
Invitation To Membership
If you are a new church member, first, we would like to say how happy we are that
you have joined our church. We know it will prove to be a blessing to you and your
family. Now, let us extend a personal invitation to become a part of our organization
of United Methodist Women. This invitation is also sincerely extended to those of you
who are not new church members, but have been unable to be a part of the UMW. We meet
bi-monthly in January, March, May, July, September, and November at 2:30 P.M. in the
Church Parlor. There, in addition to committee reports and other business, we share
concerns for one another - illnesses, sorrows, and celebrations to be included in our
prayers. It truly is a loving, caring group of women. Then the best part -- a
wonderful, inspiring program. You always leave with much food for thought to ponder.
We also divide into circles which meet each month. Meeting times are as follows:
- Circle #1 - 2nd Tuesday - 10:00 A.M.
- Circle #2 - 2nd Tuesday - 10:00 A.M.
- Circle #3 - 2nd Tuesday - 6:30 P.M.
