United Methodist Women
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN - All women at HInsdale United Methodist Church are invited to participate in United Methodist Women. Our church enjoys an active unit of over one hundred women who meet regularly through circle groups on the second Thursday of every month. They support mission efforts locally and worldwide through special events like the fall and spring resale. Fellowship activites like the mother/daughter banquet, Lenten Brunch, and fall retreat help members to fulfill the stated purpose of membership, which is to 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.
Note: Some new books have arrived in our library from the UMW Reading Program. Stop in and brouse.
