Women
Women of the Word (WOW)
WoW is an umbrella of women’s ministries designed uniquely to meet the needs of women as we seek to love and serve God and one another as Jesus commanded in His Word.
“Direct my footsteps according to your Words” Psalm 119:133
United Methodist Women (UMW)
The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be 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.
UMW scholarships are given to various mission programs and organizations. We also support the mission program for Lufkin FUMC. Local church mission projects we support include CISC, LOVE INC, My Growing Place, youth scholarships, UM Army, the Women’s Shelter, The Rainbow Room, uniforms for elementary students, and the Circle Club at Anderson Elementary School. As an annual hands-on project, we give gifts for women in crisis centers. Global mission projects include flood buckets and school kits.
