United Methodist Women (UMW) is a supportive, inclusive Christian membership organization where women grow spiritually, develop as leaders, nurture one another in community, and support U.S. and international projects and partners improving the lives of women, children and youth.
First United Methodist Church's UMW is an active, missions-minded group that raises funds to support ministries such as the Hattie B. Cooper Community Center, Eastern Maine AIDS Network, Welcome to Housing, Ronald McDonald House, and many other mission projects. Our UMW also provides funds for college scholarships, Mechuwana camperships, and financial aid for pressing needs in the community. The UMW meets on the second Saturday of the month at 9:30 AM.
