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.

 

The Aldersgate United Methodist Women are organized into three groups called Circles. One group meets in the mornings (the Susannah Circle) and the other three in the evenings (the Friendship Circle and the Deborah Circle) to allow women a choice of times. Each circle has its own chairperson.

 

The four circles together form the Unit. The president, vice-president, etc. are all unit officers and the business of the Aldersgate UMW is conducted at the unit level. Here the decisions are made as to how to spend the money, what projects to perform, what the policies are, etc. There are four unit meetings per year. 

 

Membership in UMW is as simple as deciding you would like to belong. You do not have to be a member of Aldersgate to be a member of Aldersgate UMW. All you have to do is come! Ways that women show their membership are by attending circle and unit meetings, working with UMW projects, attending district or conference meetings, making financial contributions, praying and/or accepting leadership responsibility. You do not have to make a financial pledge or a donation to belong.
