Woodlake United Methodist Women's Ministry
Faith in Action
Woodlake UMW is open to all women of the church, and includes three circles. A circle is a small group of women who meet monthly for fellowship, mission and spiritual growth. We also schedule unit activities, listed below, for all women of the church to gather together in mission and fellowship. See a description of our three circles offered at the bottom of this page.
Purpose
The 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.
