Faith • Fellowship • Service

United Women in Faith

The women of Marysville First UMC gather for fellowship, service, learning and support of ministries near and far. Long known in the church as United Methodist Women (UMW), the ministry is now United Women in Faith.

Serving Together

Our United Women in Faith support church and community ministries through hands-on service, special projects, fellowship events and fundraising. The annual Rummage Sale and Fall Bazaar are among the familiar ways this group brings people together while supporting its work.

Caring for Others

UWF members also help care for people within our church family. Care bags for homebound members are prepared several times during the year, offering a practical reminder that they remain part of the life of the congregation.

All Women Are Welcome

Women are invited to participate in UWF activities and in Miriam Circle, a smaller fellowship group that meets for programs, conversation and friendship.
