Growing in God's grace

United Methodist Women

Subgroups

We currently have six subgroups which meet monthly (most groups do not meet in summer). Each group has their own format for study. The smaller groups provide opportunity for growth in a caring and sharing atmosphere. Subgroups support different missions through hands on participation and monetary support of various charitable organizations. All groups meet together several times a year for special events. The subgroups are:

  • Agape: meets on the second Thursday of the month at the church at 10:00am in room Y-4. Chairperson is Lois Arnold (846-5324).
  • Circle of Joy: meets the second Tuesday of the month at the church at 7:00pm in S-1. Chairpersons are Arlene Eckert (761-9766) and Cary Peterson (449-2647).
  • Covenant: meets the third Monday of the month in homes at 1:00pm. Chairperson Martha Biggio (847-9959).
  • Footprints: meets the third Monday of the month at the church at 7:00pm in room S-3. Chairpersons are Andra Cook (844-6784) and Gail Scruggs (554-4824).
  • Foundations: meets the third Tuesday of the month at the church at 7pm in room S-3. Chairperson Lee Ellen Harmer (870-1019).
