Fundraisers
Throughout the year, the UMW hosts numerous fundraising activities to support missions that support women and children in the local area. We also financially support UMW's work in national and global missions by our pledges and fundraising efforts.
Our primary fundraiser is the Holiday Shoppe and Bake Sale held the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Each Circle participates by providing handmade items and baked goods to sell to our congregation.
