UMW events are open to all members of the St. Andrew community, and guests are always welcome. You do not have to attend a Circle or any meetings to be a member of UMW. Men are encouraged to attend our general meetings, and to support our outreach programs.
Our Circles provide an opportunity to learn, laugh, and share God’s love with other women on a regular basis. We nurture and support each other as we grow in our understanding of Christ. You do not need to be a member of a Circle to participate in UMW.
