The United Methodist Women's group is both local and international. At the local level, the women of the church meet together on a monthly basis to encourage one another in the faith, share devotionals, and raise money for use in both local area needs, as well as needs across the nation and the world. Virtually every UM church has a chapter of the United Methodist Women. These local group connect together through joining resources, and having joint district, regional, national and international events. There are retreats as well as training-type events. As you might guess, there are many possibilities one could plug into; and yet, one doesn't need to go any further than what is offered at the local church level to be blessed and to have the opportunity to be a blessing.
