Belmont’s UWF celebrates 114 years

We believe that love in action can change the world. Belmont UMC’s women always did more than dust the pews and raise money by serving suppers and having bake sales. From the earliest days of the congregation, they were providing leadership in the church and community at large. They just weren’t officially recognized for it. A stormy meeting of the church’s Board of Stewards in 1920 resulted in the election of eight women to the board. It would not have happened except that one man refused to allow his name to be placed in nomination if the women were excluded.

Some men, including the pastor at the time, believed that women should not serve on the church’s governing board. The women were elected but served only a few months. There is no record of why they resigned, so you have to wonder. Read more

Lenten Offering is a resounding success!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this year's Lenten Offering, which benefits the Give Ye Them to Eat (GYTTE) mission in Mexico. A generous anonymous donor, who is very passionate about GYTTE, matched the funds donated this year, allowing us to send $20,735 to GYTTE. These funds will help families build earthquake-proof straw and mud energy-efficient homes, wood stoves that reduce lung-destroying smoke, and composting toilets that can be installed inside their homes.

Honoring our Encore Faith Partners

During the month of May, we will be honoring our ENCORE Faith Partners with a bulletin board in the foyer. These are folks who cannot attend services in person due to health concerns, lack of transportation, or other personal reasons. We encourage members of the congregation to stop by the bulletin board and read the biographies of these 32 individuals who have played a vital role in the life of Belmont UMC over the years.
