United Methodist Women

Q. Who is a member?
A. Any woman who commits herself to the PURPOSE and chooses to belong
(There are over 1 million members around the world!)

Q. What is the PURPOSE of the group?
A. These UMW women organize in order to:
1. know God
2. experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ
3. develop a creative, supportive fellowship
4. expand concepts of mission
5. do all of the above as they participate in global ministries of the church

Q. Is there a small group I can be part of rather than, or in addition to, the large general meeting?
A. Yes!  We are "growing" small groups as interest is expressed.  They meet when and where the group decides.  Currently there is an Evening Fellowship Circle and a Book Club.

Q. What are some of the activities UM Women have taken part in this year in Fishkill?
A. Small groups and activities:
1. Fellowship Circle meets every third Monday of the month, September - June, in members' homes for program and fellowship.
2. Book Club meets in homes monthly for book discussion.
3. Annual Election Day Fair (November) to raise money for missions.
4. Annual Rummage Sale (April) to raise money for missions.
5. Special coffee hours/refreshments as needed or requested.
