United Women in Faith

Sycamore United Women in Faith

PURPOSE OF UNITED WOMEN IN FAITH:

United Women in Faith shall be a community of women whose Purpose is to know God and to 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.
“I now remind you to stir into flame the gift of God which is within you …”

II Timothy 1:6 NEB

The Mission Team meets once a month to plan activities and projects to allow all women of the church opportunities to fulfill the purpose.  Some of those include the following:

  • Cooking meals once a month for Hope Haven family shelter
  • Learning from representatives of service organizations, such as Safe Passage, CASA, and Opportunity House, about their missions and about ways we can be of service to them and their clients.
  • Organizing an annual thrift sale to provide needed items to community members and organizations and to earn money to support our missions.
  • Offering luncheons four times a year for all women of SUMC and surrounding churches and providing informative programs and fellowship.
  • Participating in the annual Sycamore Pumpkin Fest Craft Sale to promote our church in the community and to earn money to support our missions and SUMC.
