United Methodist Women (UMW)
Purpose -
"The organized unit of United Methodist Women
shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and
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."

UMW
Organization - Our
local UMW unit of CUMC-HB has many leaders to help us fulfill the
Purpose and plan programs to help us gain understanding of our many
missions. Each
month there is a General Meeting with programs, refreshments, and
fellowship usually held on the Third Monday evening at 7:30 PM at our
church; however, it is always better to check the
Chimes or the UMW Table
on Sunday for up to date meeting information. Reading is
encouraged with participation in the UMW Reading Program. A book cart is
available with current books in the categories: Spiritual Growth, Social
Action, Nurturing for Community, Education for Mission and a new
category, Leadership Development. Our national magazines are available
as well. An active Book Group exists that uses Reading Program books
among their selections.
We
also meet in Circles for small group studies and fellowship but it is
not necessary to be a member of a circle or a quilting group to be a
member of UMW.

Our UMW involvement also extends
to the Santa Ana District, to the Women’s Division of the California
Pacific Conference, to National and International Women’s Division of
the United Methodist Church. As a part of this large group, we pledge
money and work for missions established by the Women’s Division of our
Conference. We receive newsletters from the District. the Conference
and the national Women's Division.

women of our church and women of other faiths in the area.

Craft items, quilts, and baked goods are made by UMW members and
friends. Proceeds from the sale are used to fund mission projects.
* Women's Retreat For
several years, we have sponsored a Women's Retreat for a weekend
in August.
Mission Projects - In
addition to supporting the Global Ministries of the United Methodist
Church, we support local missions in our church and the community. In
the community, we support Interval House, Project Self-Sufficiency, the
Southwest Community Center and Methodist Hospital in Arcadia. Within our
local church we have helped with camp scholarships, the food closet, the
Sierra Service Project and we give scholarships to members of our
congregation who are studying for the ministry.
