Our United Women in Faith 2026 RETREAT was a wonderful success!
Galentine's Retreat - "Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself"
The 2026 Retreat, February 14-15, at Camp Copass, was another wonderfully blessed time together with spiritual praise, worship, prayer, relaxation, and socialization. A big thank you to everyone for attending to make this an amazing weekend. We were especially glad to have our new CUMC Pastor, Sandy Heard, lead our special and inspiring Galentine's message of
"Loving God, Loving Others, and Loving Yourself!"

In United Women in Faith (UWF), there is a tradition of forming circles -
small communities of women (of all ages) who come together for a specific purpose or mission.
These circles provide opportunities for bible study, fellowship,
spiritual growth, friendship, and service.
Circle groups meet or gather at church, homes, or anywhere in the community.
