Want UMW?

If you are not in a UMW unit now but would like to experience the many programs we sponsor about missions please contact Sue Mayo (434-292-5486) or email bnsmayo@yahoo.com for more information. You can be a member of Farmville District UMW without a church unit.  If your church would like to form a unit please let me know. 

The Farmville District United Methodist Women have been “Getting Together” this past year with the new program theme “Let’s Get Together”. The puzzle pieces come together to show an active year of “focus” on missions. Each unit needs to be especially proud of the 2009 Pledge to Mission which exceeded our pledge of $27,000 by $2,464.40. This figure does not include the $7,175.67 for VA Projects, Call to Prayer and Supplementary Donations. Our total giving’s was $36,640.07

PATMOS MINISTRIES

“Help Stamp Out Loneliness” 

 The goal of Patmos Ministries is to bring resources to programs that improve and enhance the lives of those who are or who have been incarcerated. These resources include postage stamps for the more than 130,000 women who are incarcerated in federal and state facilities.  For more information contact Deaconess Patricia N. Marks, Patmos Ministries, 8201 Blairton Road,
