United Women in Faith (formerly United Methodist Women) is a national organization whose purpose is to develop supportive and creative fellowship, foster spiritual growth, advocate for social justice, and expand concepts of missions through participation in the global ministries of the church. The collective members of UWF raise nearly $25 million each year for programs and projects related to women, children and youth in the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.
Glenn has five UWF “circles,” listed below, which are small groups of women who meet monthly for fellowship, study, prayer, and discussions. All are welcome. Contact UWF President, Nancy Reinhold.
