United Women in Faith is a 156-year-old national organization begun by eight women in 1869.
At St. Andrew’s, it is a community of women who are driven by God’s love and united in sisterhood. With a focus on women, children and youth, we act for justice and transform communities. We inspire, influence, and impact the world with our love in action.
St. Andrew’s has three circles that meet monthly:
Friendship Circle: Meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month @ 10am
Seekers Circle: Meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month @ 6:30pm
Wesleyan Circle: Meets the 3rd Monday of the month @ 2pm
We come together quarterly as a whole unit. We sponsor Wonder Walk, Granny’s Attic, and the Fall Craft Fair. These fundraisers help support our local, national and international focus on women, children and youth.
The Florida Conference of United Women in Faith has just had their Annual Mission u at the Westin Hotel in Lake Mary, FL. It is VBS/Summer Camp for United Women in Faith throughout the state of Florida. We had six members from St. Andrew’s in attendance. The Mission u photo (below) is Communion on Sunday, July 20. The theme this year was "Practicing Hope" with an 8-hour Bible study, three elective activities about Hope, and a Spiritual Speaker during plenary. Seek & Find Worship band inspired us through the three days. We had great fellowship with our “sisters” from across the state…a fun sleepover!
All women from youth to beautifully wise are welcome. Join us because love in action can change the world. If you are interested, contact Shari Gillis, Wesleyan Circle Leader of United Women in Faith-St. Andrew’s UMC at sharimgillis.umw@gmail.com.
