ly known as the United Methodist Women, through the years there have been various mergers and name changes, but the United Women of Faith’s (UWF) major effort continues to be a mission to improve the lives of women, children, and youth, social action, spiritual growth, and supportive fellowship. SCUMC Women date their group’s formation back to 1879, when The Women’s Foreign Missionary Society was created at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Stephens City, VA.
The SCUMC unit is organized for mission and serves the local church, community and the world through its mission education, advocacy, and direct service through the Board of Global Ministries. UWF support missions (locally, nationally and globally) through gifts, prayers, and service. Our Women are passionate about projects for school and health kits, sending care packages to our college students and military, and spending time in Christian fellowship with one another. Funds are raised through donations and fundraising events. They also support children and youth going to summer camp at our District Church Camp Camp Overlook through scholarships.

Stephens City United Women in Faith (UWF) will be selling hanging baskets and bedding flowers for Mother’s Day. We will be set up in f ront of the church on Friday, May 9th, and Saturday, May 10th, from 10 am-2 pm. Flower arrangements come from Mennonite farms near Shippensburg, PA and are always high quality. This fundraiser helps to support mission work for women, children and youth through UWF sponsored mission programs.
The United Women in Faith held a Paint Night in September. What great fun! We may not all be Van Gough, but we did have a great time and some truly delicious fall themed snacks. Funds raised will go to missions.
