The organized unit of the United Methodist Women is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to
experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship, and to expand
concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
As United Methodist Women, we are reminded of helping women to grow as persons in the community through their understanding
and willingness to participate in the global mission of the church. Also, we are reminded of our heritage, women who pioneered in
service for the church, at home and abroad. Many years ago, the United Methodist Women were known as the Ladies Aid or
Parsonage Societies. Members are encouraged to support the programs through prayer, financial contributions and
acceptance of leadership responsibility.
We encourage women to join with us in membership through their pledges. Saying "yes" to membership in UMW offers the
possibility of incredible involvements, new experiences and maybe even an adventure. These are just a few ways to
practice our faith.
Our unit at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church supports missionaries in Liberia, Redbird Missions, Ronald McDonald
House, scholarships for the School of Christian Mission for Youth and the Neighborhood Center in Camden, NJ. We are
able to meet these goals through financial contributions and special events. Membership is an ongoing process and
we welcome your support.
The meetings are held the second Saturday of each month, and we extend an invitation for you to come and join us!
