Memorial Drive United Methodist Church has an active and productive unit of United Methodist Women. We invite you to read through our website pages and discover the commitments and contributions of this remarkable group of women.  Should you have questions about us, or wish additional information about any of our programs, please use the links to correspond with us directly.

General Meetings and Executive Board Meetings are held each month from September through May, providing our members with fellowship, education and leadership opportunities.  Please see our calendar for upcoming meeting dates and times. We welcome everyone to our meetings and studies; however membership is reserved for women of all ages. 

Circle Meetings combine us into smaller groups according to interests and fellowship, allowing us additional time to explore a variety of topics and endeavors. At present we have nine circle groups to choose from, with both daytime and evening meeting times to accommodate schedules and encourage participation.

Membership is open to any woman who indicates a desire to belong and to participate in the global missions of the church through United Methodist Women. Joining this group of committed women is a unique opportunity - no matter who you are or where in your life you are at this moment - to move in harmony with other women who have been responding to this purpose for over one hundred years. For more information, please contact our president by e-mail.

The Hearts and Hands Holiday Market, held each October, is our primary fund-raiser.  An array of vendors and delightful merchandise is carefully selected for this fair.  All of the profits from this three-day event benefit UMW's mission efforts.  Recently, we have been able to give in excess of $40,000 to projects in the Houston area and beyond.

Annually we present educational seminars to the Houston community known as Goals of Excellence Studies.   These separately address the areas of Spiritual Growth, Social Action, and Education and Interpretation.

Each March, a Sunday is selected to recognize our efforts within the church and to its greater mission. UMW Sunday is an important opportunity for us to worship and celebrate those contributions with our church, Memorial Drive United Methodist Church.
