Women's Ministry
The United Methodist Women at CUMC are a group of women and our pastors whose mission is to provide each other with spiritual growth and support and raise funds for local, national, and international outreach. We generally have two meetings every month. On the first Tuesday of each month we have a general meeting with the entire UMW group. On the third Tuesday (sometimes second Monday) of each month we break into small groups called circles. You don’t have to be a woman, a Methodist or a church member to be a part of our group.
We will not be meeting regularly during the summer. But here are a few events we have planned for the future:
June 14 - Circle-Wide Picnic at Bet Hurdle’s, 774 Polo Run, Collierville
September 7 - 10:00 Friendship Coffee for new church members

G.E.M. Bible Study
God-Empowered Mothers Bible Study. If you are a mom looking to study God's Word and fellowship with other moms then this could be the Bible study you've been looking for. In the past we have followed a Beth Moore Bible study and met on a weekly basis.
We will not be meeting during the summer. Our next study will begin in August.
