United Methodist Women

The UMW is an organized unit of the United Methodist Church whose purpose is to know God and experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ. Through their giving, they support Missions around the world. Our local unit is about 100 strong. We meet every 1st Monday of the month at 10:30 with an inspirational program and lunch at noon. We have bake sales and an Annual Bazaar. We have a spiritual retreat each April and work closely with the other women in our district.

United Methodist Men

The United Methodist Men are a local group certified by the National U.M.M. organization. The group of about thirty members meets at 8:00 AM on the third Saturday of each month at the church. A breakfast of both traditional and low cholesterol fare is prepared and enjoyed by members and guests. Following the breakfast, and interesting program is presented. The group usually sponsors two fund-raisers a year and uses the proceeds for various church projects. The members often provide time for various local, conference, and community projects. New members are invited.

Family Camp

Over 130 persons and families attend the weekend of Memorial Day at Fall Creek Falls annually. Due to popular response this is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Pre-registration is required. Families and friends participate in Christian fellowship activities and spiritual growth.

Scouting

A Boy Scout troop has been sponsored in our Church for over 50 years. Cub Scout dens meet on a weekly basis and a Pack meeting is held monthly in the gymnasium. A Girl Scout troop meets at the church monthly.

Recreational Activities

Through use of the Spiritual Growth Center, we have many recreational opportunities for both the members of First United Methodist Church and the community. We support volleyball, softball, and basketball leagues. Aerobics classes are also held, along with walking around the gym for fitness.

• 4 Missionary Families
