Celebrate the holidays with UMW!
We continue to encourage all women of our church to be a part of the UMW by either participating in one of the Circles that meet monthly or participating as a “general member." Plan to join us in fellowship at our annual Christmas Tea. This year the meeting and program will be in the evening to enable many of our working women to attend. Hosted by the Sarah and Rachel Circles, the tea will feature a tasty buffet of fruit, cheese & crackers, and cookies and will include a brief meeting to install our officers for 2018 followed by a holiday program. The program will be a delightful musical presentation by the Downers Grove South Madrigal singers.
The UMW will host our annual holiday fundraiser bake sale on Sunday, December 3. Plan to stop by to purchase some tasty baked goods provided by our many Circle members. As always, the proceeds go towards the many mission projects, both local and global, supported by United Methodist Women. Your support is appreciated and you get to enjoy some tasty holiday goodies.
On Sunday, August 27, please join the United Methodist Women in celebrating children and youth all over the world at the 10am Childrens Sabbath service. Children and youth from our congregation will be greeters, lay readers and ushers.
God, as known to us in Jesus Christ, welcomes all.
We welcome people of any race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, social or economic status, employment status, or life situation; including people with physical or mental illness or disability.
We practice loving acceptance of each person and respectful discussion
of our differences.

Who finds meaning in her church and is drawn to its fellowship,
Whose life is packed full of activity and obligations,
Who struggles with loneliness or a sense of failure,
Who juggles jobs and family, and tries to be faithful to both,
Who wants to combine classroom study with significant fellowship and outreach opportunities,
Who seems overburdened with the traditional woman's role of caregiver,
Who feels she has gifts which are wasted or undeveloped,
Who wants to be accepted for who she is,
Who need a supportive community to affirm her own sense of purpose and commitment to God.........
