United Methodist Women
The United Methodist Women is a community of women whose
purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as a 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. Membership shall be open to any woman who indicates
her desire to become and participate in the Global Mission
of the Church through the United Methodist Women.
The official emblem for the United Methodist Women combines
the cross and a flame. The cross and flame are ancient
symbols of Christ and Pentecost. The shape of the emblem is
fluid and free flowing, suggesting change and mobility. “…I
now remind you to stir into flame the gift of God which is
within you.” (II Timothy 1:6)
Our heritage is one of sacrifice, witness and service. The
emblem serves as a continuing reminder of both opportunity
and obligation.
At Lewisburg United Methodist Church there are seven (7)
circles of United Methodist Women. They are:
Circle I meets at 1:30 P.M. in the Asbury Room
of Lewisburg United Methodist on the first Thursday of each

United Methodist Men
The LUMC Methodist Men meet monthly on the second
Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. They enjoy
good food, fellowship and song.
The United Methodist Men worked with Wellspring to build a
wheelchair accessible ramp for a disabled person in White
Sulphur Springs and for a community church there. Later they
helped Wellspring with building renovation/repair at
Quinwood, which is used as an overnight shelter for men.
As a group, they removed vines that had almost completely
covered the west side of the older part of LUMC. They have
aided the LUMC women in procuring and installing stainless
steel covers for two kitchen work tables. They also
sponsored two pancake meals for the church and the church
bazaar, where they also sold crafts.
Their impact upon other males in and out of church is one of
their major missions, and they will continue to offer this
Christian fellowship to all who seek to know Christ in their
lives.
The Lewisburg United Methodist Men (UMM) chapter is
