Wisdom Circle

An extension of the UMW, this group meets in members homes on the first Tuesday of each month and does local community outreach as well as participating in studies and fellowship. Wisdom Circle is in charge of the "Baby Chest" in the Narthex of the Church. Once the chest is full it is distributed to one of the local agencies working with pregnant women. Wisdom Circle also makes school and health kits for the United Methodist Church and sends them to the local distribution center. The Wisdom Circle is on hiatus until the first Tuesday in September.

Graduation Bibles & Scholarships

The United Methodist Women present bibles each year to our church youth graduating from High School. In 2010 bibles were presented to Amber Colson, granddaughter of Bernice Hull and to Mackendie Toussiant and Tequilla Brewster The UMW and UM Men take applications for their annual scholarships from January through March of each year. To be eligible for the scholarship you must be enrolled in or accepted to a college, technical or trade school. You do not have to be a graduating senior in high school to apply, you can already be enrolled in college. You must reapply each year to be considered for the scholarship. This year's recipient was Amber Colson, who will begin her studies at St. John's River Community College in August, her goal is to become a high school English teacher.
