United Methodist Women
About
The United Methodist Women of Grace Church are a vital part of the church and its mission outreach. There are approximately seventy active members in three circles. All three circles meet once a month (or online) and provide fellowship, education, and mission opportunities. Each circle sponsors its own mission project in addition to supporting the various mission projects of the unit.
Our unit qualifies as a UMW "Bronze Star Unit." We have a Key Person and provide support for the Baltimore Parish Work and the Board of Child Care. Our unit organizes the church-wide Blanket Drive and processes and delivers health kits to the Church World Service in New Windsor, Maryland. The Service Committee prepares funeral meals and receptions for family and friends of deceased church members. In addition, individual circles and members send cards to members and friends who are in need of our thoughts and prayers. The current UMW President is Ruth Bender.
