Open to All Women
This organization primarily focuses on educational information and support of missions – locally, nationally and globally.
Unit meetings take place the second Tuesday of each month (except July and August) in the church library or Fellowship Hall. All women are cordially invited to attend. You don’t have to be a member of United Women in Faith or St. Mark’s UMC or any church to come. Programs are planned annually and are designed to implement our purpose (above). Unit meetings start with light refreshments beginning at 9:30 a.m. The program begins at 10 a.m. and a short business meeting follows the monthly program. Watch the church newsletter and/or the weekly Sunday worship bulletin for specific information about monthly meetings and activities.
Elizabeth Circle
The Elizabeth Circle is dedicated to upholding in prayer the mission and members of St. Mark’s United Women in Faith. While we don’t hold regular meetings, prayer requests are shared via email and traditional mail each month, as well as whenever special needs arise. Our primary focus each month is praying for the group or organization presenting the unit meeting program. We regularly send emails to our members, sharing prayer requests from within our community and those brought to our attention.
Grace Circle
Grace Circle is a smaller group of women who meet on the third Tuesday of the month (except July and August). We are the “hands-on” mission group, with program/projects designed to work around the church, or at various local organizations supported by UWF and/or St. Mark’s UMC mission funds. Watch the church newsletter and/or weekly Sunday worship bulletin for specific information about monthly meetings and activities of Grace Circle.
