| Ronald United Methodist Women |
The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall 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.
| UMW Purpose |
Ronald UMW is just one unit among thousands of units adding our numbers to the 1,000,000
world wide membership. UMW fosters spiritual growth, develops leaders, and advocates for
justice. This organization raises nearly $25,000,000 every year to support projects related to
women, children, and youth in the United States and more than 100 other countries. Use this
address to find out more about UMW go to www.gbgm-umc.org/umw/.
Ronald’s UMW unit will meet for General Meetings three times, other than our two annual
luncheons, in 2009.
Martha Circle meets at 10:00 on the first Wednesday of the month from September through
June. A business meeting is followed by a program that is in keeping with the UMW Purpose.
We have programs about current issues, mission needs and experiences, Bible studies, and
a wealth of other topics. Interesting and timely programs are always our goal. Following the
program, lunch is served.
AM Edition is another fellowship within UMW which supports the aims of the organization
while meeting the needs of women who desire to get together under less formal
circumstances to share concerns, ideas, joys, and just plain fun. Our meeting date is a bit
more flexible, but we usually get together at 9:30 am on the third Saturday of the month.
Often this is a potluck, but from time to time it is hosted by one or two members or is at a
restaurant.
The UMW budget reflects the concerns of the organization. The largest total item is support
for missions locally and abroad. The next largest total item goes toward education and
spiritual development for members. Most of the remainder goes to support of the local
church. We place great emphasis on making it possible for members to attend workshops
and retreats by paying most of their expenses.
All women, members of Ronald UMC or not, are welcome to come to our meetings and
activities.
