United Methodist Women

All Desert Chapel Women are invited to visit and join if you like what we do. We focus on Missions and do it by stewardship with lots of fellowship.

The UMW completed a busy, satisfying fall, and winter and are now into

our springtime when many of our officers and members embark on vacations

and are returning to their summer homes.

Recently we sent two large boxes of birthing kits to the UMCOR depot in Salt Lake City and included our extra remaining objects for their use in completing other kits – thus closing the door on that project.

We were excited to learn recently from Response magazine that Methodism has had an active program to combat Malaria in Africa and parts of Asia for over fifty years. The most recent program is “Nothing but Nets” whereby a person may purchase a net for $10.00 through the Advance Special Program. These are packaged in a square about 12’ x 12’ by 4’ and are used over a bed or other sleeping facility thereby keeping the person free from mosquito bites. This will be one of our new projects this fall.

During the months of May, June, July, August and September, members and friends of Desert Chapel United Methodist Women gather at the Village Inn in Apache Junction for lunch and a brief devotional and of course for friendship. The gatherings will be at 11:30 AM, on May 10, June 14, July 12, August 9, and September 13. All churchwomen are welcome.
