A Brief Statement From Our President
Who are the United Methodist Women? We are a community of women over 800,000 strong, a sisterhood of grace and faith, and an integral part of the church body. We are a voice for women, youth, and children locally and around the world. We work for justice through compassionate service, advocate to change unfair policies and systems, and equip women and girls everywhere to be impactful leaders. Finally, we support sustainable mission-work throughout the world by contributing monetary gifts to the World Thank Offering and Legacy Fund.
On a local level, Glencoe’s UMW supports many church and community events such as Vacation Bible School, the Spring Fling, and the Fall Bazaar. We show Christ’s love through our philanthropic efforts by collecting school supplies, providing bibles for graduates, and roses for newborns. We also help sponsor the annual golf tournament, assist with advertising for events, and present love offerings and memorials.
Our ongoing project is the UMW quilt. Each member is making a quilt square that tells their story or one that has a special meaning. The quilt will showcase the women of Glencoe and serve as a tangible reminder of the legacy of those who came before us. All of the women in the church are invited to be a part of this exciting project!
2020 is our 151st year as the league of extraordinary women. NOW is the perfect time to join the UMW! This year is set to be an exciting year of new projects and we would love to have your input and support!
As a United Methodist Woman, your impact will be felt locally and all around the world! Together, our voices, talents, and gifts are combined and amplified. We encourage you to join us today and be a part of this fellowship of faithful believers. Thank you.
Sincerely,
