UMW Circles (Fellowship Groups)
A wonderful way to meet other women and make friends is to join one of Centreville’s three UMW Circles or be a Member At-Large. The circles are open to new members throughout the year and all members participate in a wide range of activities and strive to bring women in the church closer to one another. Below are descriptions of each circle and contact information. Our circles are always eager to welcome new members.
Fannie Harrison Circle meets every third Monday at 7:30 PM in members’ homes. A wide variety of programs are presented including speakers, crafts, spiritual reflection, mission-related issues, etc. For more information please contact Angela Peabody at angela.peabody@gmail.com.
Felicity Circle meets on the third Monday of the month at 7:00 PM in members’ homes. Felicity supports several local missions though donations and fund-raising and presents related programs throughout the year. For more information please contact Carol Engelbrecht at caroljane@verizon.net.
Morning Glory Circle is one of the oldest existing circles at CUMC and meets at 9:30 AM on the third Wednesday of the month at the church.

The United Methodist Women (UMW) is an organized community of women whose purpose is to know God and experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship and to expand concepts of mission. The UMW has a variety of opportunities for fellowship. Circles meet in the morning, the evenings and all meet once a month, September through June. There’s a circle for women of all ages! If you are unable to commit to a monthly meeting, the UMW sponsors three unit events each year. Check the UMW bulletin board at the church to find detailed information about individual groups and meeting times. Join anytime during the year.
