Find the right UMW Circle for you:
A circle is a small working unit of our local United Methodist Women chapter. Excelsior UMC has six circles with 15-25 members in each.
Circles meet once a month. The meetings cover current business and will include a program, which might include a book discussion, speakers on topics of interest, learning about missions, or programs at the church. SUPPORT AND SERVICE Lasting friendships are formed through circles. In times of need, support can be found in our circle of sisters, and through these small groups it is easier to meet others at church. Expanding friendships with faith connections increases our personal faith and strengthens our connection to the church. Our biggest service to others is certainly the help we give to the rummage sale. These twice-yearly sales raise money that is used to support local and national missions of the Women’s Division of the United Methodist Church, such as food shelves, battered women’s shelters, and crisis nurseries. Many circles also choose to do individual service projects. |
