UMW Subgroups

First Tuesday Mission   Leader:  Jean Peel  

This daytime group meets in A 102 at 10:00am the first Tuesday of each month.  Thy share 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.  

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. 

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.
