United Methodist Women

 

The Crossroads Unit of the United Methodist Women invite you to join with us as we have fun, form new relationships, and work together to support each other and raise funds for missions.

 

The local UMW Unit at Crossroads is open to all women ages 14 and up. There is no set "dues", however, members are encouraged to make an annual "pledge to mission". Some of these funds are sent to the Lansing District, which in turn forwards a portion to the state organization. Some of
the pledges, combined with funds raised through special projects, are donated to local charities, such as Hannah's House, a home for homeless pregnant women.

 

Meetings are held the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 am at the church, unless posted otherwise.
