PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Once a month, a group gets together to create blankets to be given away as prayer shawls. Our church prays over these shawls, and they are given with a certificate to people in our church and community who are in need of comfort. These prayer shawls are a tangible demonstration of the love of Jesus.
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The United Methodist Women is a denominational organization founded in 1868, originally to confront the lack of women's health in India. Since then, the organization has been committed to raising awareness and financial support for various social issues, especially those affecting women and children.
Our congregation's UMW president is Lisa Kelley.
