Who Are the United Methodist Women (UMW) of Bulverde?
“The United
Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is
to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through
Jesus Christ. To develop a creative supportive fellowship and to
expand the concepts of mission through participation in the
global ministries of the church.”
Daytime Meetings at Bulverde UMC –
Those available during the week, meet on the
second Thursday of each month, in the UMW room of the
Fellowship Hall. We begin at 11:30 with a Brown bag
lunch followed by a program, presented by a unit member,
from 12:00 to 1:30. These programs allow us to meet our
Mission Today, Charter Club, and 5-Star requirements for
the District and Conference.
This group is a hands-on mission group as well as the
core group of UMW for our local organization. We have
created birthday craft boxes for the children at Wesley
Community Center, served as organizers of the Wesley
Rummage Sale, provided food tray flower arrangements for
the residents of Autumn Winds nursing home, prepared,
delivered and served lunch for the Campus Ministry
organization at San Antonio College, hosted an annual
Rummage Sale at Bulverde United Methodist Church, and
have provided book bags for the UMCOR Depot in Baldwin,
LA. We also cook Soul Food twice a year to earn money
toward providing scholarships for Education
opportunities within the greater UMW organization.
