United Methodist Women LITANY
ON THE PURPOSE
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED METHODIST WOMEN SHALL BE A COMMUNITY OF WOMEN… of different colors, of different sizes, of different abilities, but all are God’s children. WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO KNOW GOD…through study and application of scripture, through worship, alone and in the company of others, through prayer for self and others. TO EXPERIENCE FREEDOM AS WHOLE PERSONS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST…by daring to be ourselves, by loving others, as God has loved us. TO DEVELOP A CREATIVE, SUPPORTIVE FELLOWSHIP.. by caring for each other, praying for each other, respecting each other. TO EXPAND CONCEPTS OF MISSION…by growing in understanding and ability to share, through study and action, through working with all persons. THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL MINISTRIES OF THE CHURCH…by sharing God’s vision for humanity, not only in the immediate community, but “even to the ends of the earth.” (Business meetings at 10:00 a.m.
followed by the program and luncheon.)
Tri-F's
is a monthly potluck fellowship, with an open invitation to all church
members and friends. If you are a new church member or
visitor wanting to get to know the congregation, this is a great place
to make friends. Meetings are usually held in Dexter Hall
and the adjoining kitchen. Dinner begins shortly after 6 p.m.
Bring whatever food you would like to share.
After supper you are likely to be caught up in a lively game of Trivial
Pursuit, Pictionary, Scrabble or dominos. Bring your favorite
board game or just plan to hang around for good conversation.
