First Tuesday Mission

Leader: Joycelaine Angle

The First Tuesday Mission Subgroup of The United Methodist Women meets on the first Tuesday of every month to study about the mission projects and social concerns of The United Methodist Church. Meetings begin at 10:00 a.m. in Room A102 in the Adult Building. The group shares refreshments and fellowship as well as the study of the UMW program book. Most of these ladies have been involved with UMW for many years and share the love of the PURPOSE and history of this important organization. After the meeting, the group enjoys fellowship over a light lunch provided by members on a rotating basis.

All women are welcome to join the group. If you wish to know more about the First Tuesday Mission Subgroup, contact the Church Office at 972/264-6814. Your message will be relayed to Joycelaine Angle, Chairperson.

Network Angels

Leader: Susan Brownell

The Network Angels is an email study group that follows all of the guidelines set forth for United Methodist Women. It was formed for working women with limited time, but still wanted to be of service to their church, community and world. These women make commitments to give their time in projects of service and study and to pledge to the budget of the United Methodist Women’s unit at First United Methodist Church in Grand Prairie. The Network Angels have quarterly meetings to enjoy fellowship and plan mission projects.

Network Angels Circle works well for working ladies who might not be able to attend meetings. The UMW study is done via email. We meet quarterly for dinner and to plan charitable projects. Our ongoing project is to send cards through the year to the church's homebound members.

Susanna Wesley

Leader: Bonnie Cockrum

Susanna Wesley meets at 7:00pm, the 3rd Tuesday of January, February, March, April, September, October and November. Working ladies will enjoy this evening group as we study the programs offered in the UMW study book. You will learn how the Bible scriptures play a role in our mission as United Methodist Women following The PURPOSE. This group meets in members’ homes or can meet in room A102 in the Adult Building.
