If you have a heart for Missions and are looking for a way to share God’s love with our community and world please give prayerful consideration to joining our United Methodist Women.
The UMW gathers together to enjoy fellowship, grow closer to God and participate in a variety of outreach programs from local community projects to worldwide missions. Our UMW has three active mission groups, which include all age groups and convenient meeting times.
For the 3rd year in a row the United Methodist Women gave each Port St. Joe Elementary student a book to take home for the summer.
