United Women in faith formerly (united Methodist Women)

Gila Mountain UMC has an active United Women in Faith Group.

UWF is open to all women.  UWF is a missional arm of the United Methodist Church.  This group holds several fundraisers to support local, national and worldwide missions. 

UMF meets on the first Thursday of each month at 10 AM in Room 9.  All are welcome.  When the meeting adjourns at 11:30 AM, the group then gathers at a local restaurant.

The Rebecca & Naomi Circles meet on Mondays from 9:00 to 11:00 AM from  September through May.

The Rebecca Circle makes quilts for missions, like Crossroads, as well as for Jessie’s Closet, and Amberly’s Place.
The Naomi Circle works on craft projects for the UWF luncheons.  You can also work on your own project. This is a good time to get to know others in the group through fellowship, a snack, and a devotion.  Plan on joining them September 9th in room 9. Remember:  friendship makes life more beautiful.

The Abigail Circle (the reading group) meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 1:00 PM from September through April. The purpose of the reading program is to learn more about God’s ministries, increase sensitivity to all, enhance self-knowledge and encourage critical thinking about issues facing humanity.  Please feel free to check out our library and join us for discussions in Callaway Hall.

All women are welcome to join in the fellowship of this organization.
