UNIVERSITY UNITED METHODIST WOMEN WELCOMES YOU!

United Methodist Women strive to be doers, not only hearers of the Word, touching the lives of people world wide, making a difference through global ministries as close as MSU, Potter Park Outreach, and Grand Rapids, as far as Timbuktu, and of course, right here at University United Methodist Church.

Why Be a United Methodist Woman?

· Work with and get to know other women in the church.

· Enjoy fellowship and refreshments with other women.

· Hear interesting speakers on contemporary issues.

· Experience spiritual growth.

· Belong to the world’s largest women’s organization.

· Know that your prayers, service, and contributions are helping others.

You are welcome to join us in our faith walk. Our bond is our willingness to serve God. Gather with us monthly and for our special activities.

 

University United Methodist Women are caring catalysts cooperating in Christian community and concern.
