Sunday, September 10th in all Worship Services
Help us celebrate United Methodist Women on Sunday, September 10 in all worship services. Stop by the information table in the upstairs Commons to see and hear more about what the UMW offers.
The original mission of the UMW was to serve women and children.
We want all women at Canterbury to be a part of the ever evolving tradition of the United Methodist Women. Canterbury's UMW is currently made up of eleven circles. We now have a place for every woman at Canterbury; from teens to great-grandmothers. Imagine the difference you can make...join the United Methodist Women today!
