United Methodist Women - UMW

“But go, tell the disciples…”

--Mark 16:7

The purpose of United Methodist Women (UMW) is to:

  • know God and to experience freedom as whole persons
    through Jesus Christ
  • develop a creative supportive fellowship
  • expand concepts of mission through participation in
    global ministries

UMW members participate as Circle Members or Members-at-Large (non-Circle members).

"Recommended books are windows to the world…they enlarge our vision of heart and mind and help us live our mission in today's world."

--Johanna Swords

Reading Program
Education is a core UMW value. Year-round, HPCUMC's unit joins women from across the country by reading books that further our vision. Titles cover contemporary topics: spiritual growth, mission, community nurturing and social action.

Special emphasis is given to summer reading. One book is assigned per month, and readers are invited to participate in a discussion group.

"As Christians, we long to alleviate the suffering of others…The Nast Trinity dinners offer us the opportunity to directly address one limited problem…right now."

--Roxanne Hamilton

Nast Trinity United Methodist Church
Nast Trinity is a small, but active church committed to urban ministry and mission, helping meet the critical physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the community. We have been blessed with gifts and are called to the service of providing food for the body and soul of these neighbors in Over-the-Rhine.

UMW's opportunity to serve dinner is Sunday, February 24, and September 14, 2008
